A quick Photoshop levels adjustment, using "Enhance Per Channel Contrast" with "Snap Neutral Midtones" box checked:
I think this has resulted in colours very close to the colours of the surface as we have seen from raw Mastcam and MAHLI images. I remember reading in a few places that the pronouncedly red appearance of Mars when photographed from outside of its atmoshere is due to all the dust suspended in its atmosphere. -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas

I remember reading in a few places that the pronouncedly red appearance of Mars when photographed from outside of its atmoshere is due to all the dust suspended in its atmosphere. Mastcam cameras have a well-known "greenish cast" making the surface look yellowish. If atmospheric dust reddened the planet, then the limbs should be redder than the centre of the disc, since you look through more dusty air near the limbs. Also the planet should look redder during global duststorms, but I haven't heard of a hue shift during duststorms. |
