The colors and albedo contrasts of many regions on Io change significantly between Galileo SSI images taken at different times with different lighting-and-viewing geometries. The changes are most widespread and extreme in an area that extends from Pele through the western half of Colchis Regio (latitudes +/-60 deg, longitudes 190-255 deg W). Although some of these changes, in the immediate vicinity of Pele, may be associated with this volcano's active plume, the more widespread changes are caused by region-to-region variations in the Ionian surface's regolith properties, properties which determine how the surface scatters light under different geometries.
