With the WAC images through all the eleven filters, they can do "true
color" via just using the RGB filtered images.
Anyway in true color it's pretty damned bland. Sort of like the Moon
seen through smog.

Our moon and Mercury have "smog"? (that's a good one)

Let our own PhotoShop or whatever digital photo software unbland
whatever there is to see, or is even that too much to ask for?
