It seems to me that it is a misnomer referring to Mars as "red". It is
anything but red! At 150 - 200 X's the colour
is a sandy beige with a reddish hue. In the sky Mars looks more

red-yellow
and reminds me of a what a spark looks like
from a campfire.

I wonder what that sandy-reddish beige would look like as wallpaint? I
find it a rather warm clour myself. Any thoughts?
