All the images so far are from the LORRI camera which is panchromatic so no color can be expected. NH does carry another instrument capable of color, the MVIC camera but it's a lower resolution instrument and is too sensitive to be used on sunlit surfaces at Jupiter. There will be color observations after closest approach, mainly looking at night sides and using jupitershine.
We can expect color releases, but nothing as spectacular as Cassini did. -------------------- |
