Yeah because at least on a planetary scale, the surface is actually a pretty vibrant orange when viewed through a telescope. Now i can’t speak for a surface level but the surface varies from bright orange to light brown and pale yellow, even a blue color in some pics
Maybe I’m misremembering. I know they’ve done post-processing of images, but it might be that the cameras taking the pictures weren’t tuned the same as YOUR EARTH CAMERAS, so they had to fix incorrect colors in the raws. It’s been a while.
Actually the surface is a kind of dusty red orange from all the iron oxide (rust) in the soil.
And isn’t the surface not as red as most people think it is, so NASA does some post-production on publicity stills?
