What do these different colors mean, and what does it mean if they are seen together in the mini-map?

(If you have questions about other mini-map colors, and would like to have it added in this question, feel free to suggest an edit with a screenshot of them in this question, or comment about it.)

I know the Red means places where you can't go without being noticed that you aren't a privateer and yellow means quest zone to kill something. My guess is it are the different quests (hunting,killing) while wearing the privateer outfit. – Lyrion Dec 21 '12 at 7:11

In your second picture you can see that you are wearing the privateer suit. Now the privateer suit has the advantage that other privateers won't notice you. But there are still certain zones you can't go in. Those zones will be in red.

Now before you had the suit and you get quests, the zones will have different colors depending on what quest: Main quest, hunting quest, killing quest and the other one. It is still the same except some zones are in (red)zones you can't cross without being noticed you are not a privateer. And that is where the red zone comes in.

I can't find any resources to confirm this tho, but i'm wearing the privateer suit aswell in my game and I'll go check it out when i get home.

Know about the blue zones? – galacticninja Dec 21 '12 at 8:05
@galacticninja Yellow are story missions, blue are optional missions and red are hostile areas like camps you still need to take over. – Lyrion Dec 21 '12 at 8:26
