Chemistry Bonding Images

The images on this site are interesting and colorful, but I had to read through the color-coding descriptions a few times and am still not sure that I understand the concept.  If I understand correctly, positive electrostatic potential is created by high electron density (a high negative charge); therefore, both positive electrostatic potential and high electron density are depicted in blue.  Red is supposed to depict negative electrostatic potential and low electron density.  But low electron density does not necessarily mean negative electrostatic potential, does it?
