Mars isn't really colored red, NASA lied to us

There really is a conspiracy theory about everything, isn't there? Don't we have better things to worry about than the color of Mars?

There was an article on this in Discover a while back (actually, it might have been Science News. One of the two, though) about this.

The reason for the color mistakes is because NASA cut corners when transmitting images, and just used the ultraviolet plate for the blue and the infrared for the red instead of using the normal red and blue colors. That way, they cut down on bandwidth with the minor side affect of the colors being wrong in some of the photos. Hmmm. That probably could have been worded better.

No conspiracy here.

Scientists are lieing about the color of a planet, yet still no cure for cancer. Huh.

Wow, um... If you look at it... You know, in the sky... With your own eyes... It's red. It's totally red.

Wow.

You know, it looks yellow.

So do we have to start calling it the yellow planet now?

Why would NASA bother lying about the colour of a planet? Where they just bored?
