I guess you are confused with Fields and Intensity. The image generated
represent fields which, unlike intensity, have values positive, zero and
negative as well (just for example you can assume fields are like sine
function while intensity/power are square of sine ). Now if one tries to
represent these fields by two color scheme (like gray scale image) then one
looses the info about the sign of field. So, best way to represent them is
using three color scheme as noted by you where one could make out the
amplitude as well as sign easily.
