The "In a specific wavelength" ones are cheating imo
All but purple, blue, black and cyan seem to be real-color. I have some doubts about brown too.
Which is weird that black isn't just a picture of the night sky. Has to be some fancy IR Hubble image that's been redshifted back to "true" (so doesn't that make it technically real-color again even though it's been manipulated? 🤔)
Let's be honest the color "black" is just strange anyway because it is and isn't a color in a weird way.
See this rainbow? It's the sun (in a certain wavelength)
Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/
neptune is also cheating. it's not that blue and never was, it looks basically the same as uranus.
It's also unrealistically bright. That far from the sun is about 900x dimmer than earth.
By that argument, most of these should be black.
👀
Especially with Uranus right there for blue… i feel like Crab Nebula for purple can get a pass though.
