Default Jupiter photos

Every single colour you see is made up becvause colours don;t really exist
all we have is light of differnt wavelenghs human yes and animals takes thes
wavelenghts and the chemical and sensory reactions that take place make us
see colours.


What you're saying is not wrong but you're losing
track of context, so that your argument becomes
just endless devil's advocate to no purpose.

Light reflecting off Jupiter has wavelengths. Those
correspond to colors. You can argue about whether
a color is magenta or crimson and you can argue about
whether colors have true existence. You can argue about
whether a tree in the woods has dark brown bark if no
one is there to look at it. But the issue is much simpler
than that: People are colorizing the Jupiter photos willy
nilly and the public is not clearly informed of that. The
motive for colorizing is to make the images look more
interesting to the public. They're mixing marketing with
science. The NASA marketers clearly think that colors
exist.
