Get into the blue zones for the best results, but you can still see well enough, depending on the telescope, in areas with light pollution. Just get out of light in your vicinity.

In the blue areas or even areas with lack of color you have the best chance of seeing Dark Sky Objects (nebulas, distant stars, etc.) Again, that depends on the telescope you have too.

My 8" aperture scope could see Orion's Nebula in a yellow/orange zone on the map, but not in great detail.
