Why does the colour change, zooming on that city ?

A solution could be a different season, but a) that state seems to be enough northern, so during winter it should be white b) a place can't be so arid during a season and completely green some months later .

Any idea ?

The images are recorded at different times of the year for different magnifications. Some of them are years old, while others may be brand new too! So imagine that the images are overlapping and when you pan or zoom, you are looking potentially at several images of the exact same area. you might try Microsoft Live Earth also, I love nosing around there!
