Not all impact craters are of the classic bowl-shape variety. Often times, material from the center will rebound and create a peak that can show us some of the rock, possible minerals, and other material that was buried prior to impact.
The enhanced color images show greater detail of the uplift, including exposed bedrock and delicate sand sheets. The teal-bluish sand likely represents basaltic (volcanic) material that might have been blown-in from elsewhere.
