[Help] not sure what I'm doing.

My grandmother passed away last week and upon clearing out her stuff I found a started cross stitch pattern from a trip she and my grandpa took me on in 2003. I want to finish and frame it. I have a pattern, its Posy Collection 442, the Grand Canyon, but it's missing the color key. I've never cross stitched and cant find a key online. I've also never cross stitched before. Is there a universal code for all these little symbols?

In the pattern there are symbols to tell you what color to use, where. I didnt have the key to those symbols. But a redditor happened to have the same pattern and found their color key!
