What? No talk about the Mars Rover?

I don't see much difference in the Mars landscape since the Last one, but I guess that was to be expected.

Well, it seems that NASA knows people are expecting mars to have a red-coloured landscape, and they seem to have processed al pictures using a red filter to meet our expectations.
Here is the url of a website that has tried to convert the pictures to how mars would look if you saw it with your own eyes:

It's still red, but it doesn't hurt your eyes like the red/orange nasa pictures.

There's a panel on the lander for which the colors are known. They converted the picture to the right colors using this panel as a reference.
