The dust devil tracks look way too green to me. Shouldn't they be more red/brown/gray. Doesn't this channel look too blue? Are these supposed to be true color or are they false color in order to enhance features? If they are true color, is it more accurate then what we have seen from Global Surveyor and Odyssey?

Full story: http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM8AD9ATME_index_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined, and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
