foreflight radar colors

I understand the usual green-yellow-red radar returns for convective precip (lower right). I'm guessing that blue probably means snow. What are the isolated patches of red in the middle?

Pink? Freezing rain, sleet, etc.

My assessment of anything pink, red or purple when it comes to weather radar is simple: "**** I do not want to mess with".

I discuss precipitation type in this video or here on my YouTube channel.

Thank you for sharing that. It's very informative.
