Until now I have yet to see a true color image of Phoebe.
Has anyone attempted at coloring a BW image?

Thanks!

They're one and the same - it's near as damn it a grey lump

Except for Titan, all the moons of Saturn are striking for their utter lack of color.

There is Iapetus...Cassini Regio is dark brown.

Phoebe is grey, almost completely and utterly devoid of color. Around the time of the encounter, I tried to put together a color release but when it turned up grey with the only color coming from noise, I found it wasn't worth the effort.

Almost a grey lump with faint hints of reds, but this could be imperfect color balance in my thoughts,
