Hi, Graham, List,

No Red chip. Blue, Green, and a carefully selected
Orange which is a perfect mixture of precise amounts
of Red and Yellow. And three grays.

You can get to all the raw images through this site:

Here's a new color image that shows the mini-DVD and
the American flag on the deck of the lander:

Note that the Red, White, and Blue is not red, not blue
and not very white, either. True, a few small (3 to 4 mm)
particles of the surface fell on the deck from the perfect
landing two days ago, but I doubt enough red dust landed
up there to change all the colors this much.

Hi Stirling

Very interesting to see colour calibration charts...but there dont seem
to be any shades of red....any reason for that?
