Actually these are the true colors of mars, and I'm glad they got rid of that red tint. I did some research awhile back on that and the reason they wanted to have that tint filter on (as I suspected) is that they where afraid (and still are) that while viewing the landscape in true color they would see something or color that couldn't be explained so easily. Also by having that red filter on or done that way, it acts like an overexposure in a sense and if anything is seen it makes it hard to tell what it is or to be exact it makes it easier for them to say it's a shadow in a rock or its mineral deposits.
