It seems the image attached to the NewScientist article is not an image from Levin's yet to be published paper.

And I'm not entirely sure how but this article appears to address how puddles might form (and evaporate) on the Martian slopes.
A.Dim, New Scientist gives credit of the image to him. This is an quote from that artice below the image.

Smooth bluish areas on a Martian crater floor could be ponds, according to two scientists. The area is approximately 1 square metre (Image: Ron Levin)
As I mentioned before as the Red channel is actually Near IR (753nm filter)and not red, at best any image is only an approximation As there is no True Color red filtered image for it, I think the best can be done is either a image like mine with black sand, or like shows in the imaging teams version where it is darker red sand.
