Webb images are not going to be like Hubble's. It'll be basicallymonochromatic

False colour palettes can make faint detail stand out in a monochrome image... These two completely different techniques are often given different names, with "false color" applying to the first and "pseudocolor" to the second. P.C. names for colouration now? No they are quite different in concept. One maps three separate monochrome images to the colour planes R,G,B. (essentially to show distribution of different narrowband emission) The colours used may bear no relation to the wavelengths observed. The other adds colour to what was originally a single pure monochrome image with the intention of making fine detail visible. In my book they are both false colour images but usage varies a lot. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Well, in the Carina Nebula image, the data was collected through narrow band filters, red mapped from the F126N filter (1.26 um, an FE II line), green mapped from the F128N filter (1.28 um, a H line), and blue mapped from the F164N filter (1.64 um, another Fe II line). |
