I'm no color map maker, but I do know that your color map should be indexed to a certain number to allow the map to be colored by things like craters and blood. It's posible your map doesn't have a slot or slots for the crater colors... I suggest editing the map and indexing it with less colors (less than 256 for sure)... I forgot what number but somebody here might repond or look for a tutorial that tells you.
