Are those nasa colors because nasa has to filter it most of the time for it to be accurate to we what the human eye would see.

Titan is pretty much yellow. JWST is an infrared telescope, so it doesn’t show the visible spectrum we see. So the colors mean something, but they don’t mean, “what humans would see when looking at it with their eyes.” There are many visible spectrum images of Titan from other sources, however.

Mid-infrared and NIR for jwst.
