If the colors pulse and they're red and blue, that's a doplar ultrasound and the colors represent blood flow.  If they're going around the cyst tht's just regular blood vessels and there isn't blood flow into the cyst (that's good).  If the red and blue go into the cyst there is blood going into it.  That could mean it's a hemmoraghic cyst, which is what they call it when some cysts bleed into themselves, or could mean it's a tumor.

My first TVUS the tech thought she saw blood flow into the cyst, but on my second one the radiologist did the exam, he said the blood was actually flowing around the cyst.

Perhaps you should contact your dr. and have him/her interpret the results to you.  That would probably be more helpful to you as you have very specific questions that only your dr. should answer.

I agree, ask your dr.  I don't know what yellow means.  Sometimes drs do use the terms tumor and cyst interchangably.
