What do the colors and the different shades of colors mean when around that dot?

The electric field in electrodynamics (in contradistinction with electrostatics) is not the gradient of a scalar potential. Also the potential itself is not a gauge invariant entity. So I think 'equipotential lines' don't have a physical significance. Am I missing something ? 1/2

well the scalar potential of a relativistically moving charge is indeed a well defined potential, this is how i colored the contour plot. However, they are only equipotentials if E = -grad(φ), which is generally not true in elec. dynamics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9nard%E2%80%93Wiechert_potential …
