In color Doppler, velocity is encoded by both direction and speed on a color map. Toward the probe is shown with red hues, and as the velocity toward the probe increases, the color shifts to brighter red and can blend into yellow. So high-velocity toward flow commonly appears as red to yellow. Blue would indicate flow moving away from the transducer, and green is not typically used to denote high-velocity toward flow on standard maps.
