Conventional color to represent vegetation on the map?

• A. Blue
• B. Green
• C. Brown
• D. Yellow

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that color cues on maps follow intuitive associations with landscape features. Vegetation is shown in green because plant life naturally appears green to the eye due to chlorophyll, so green instantly communicates plant cover to map readers. Cartographers use varying shades of green to indicate density and type of vegetation—darker greens for dense forests, lighter greens for grasslands or sparser vegetation.

Other features have distinct colors that help readers distinguish them quickly: water is typically blue, bare soil or elevation is often brown, and deserts or open arid areas are usually yellow. So green becomes the standard choice for vegetation because it aligns with natural expectations and enhances readability of the map.
