Figure 7-12. Constructing a colored picture of Jupiter from the red and blue data channels requires construction of a green image first, to combine with the red and blue. This produces a lifelike image on which the color balance has been adjusted to correspond with the best Earth-based observations of Jupiter. Without the green picture an objectionable purplish Jupiter would result from mixing the blue and red images alone.
