The "Galileans"
Io, the large volcanic satellite of Jupiter, was first shown to the World in images transmitted from the Voyager 1 Spacecraft. 
Unfortunately their cameras had no red filters and color pictures often had to be extrapolated substituting orange for red and violet for blue.
In the case of Io, this led to a garish 'pizza' appearance with many reproductions of the released images further wandering toward the red until Io looked like tomato soup! 
Io is very bright, and largely a pale yellow with gray green to orange regions. Galileo has greatly refined the color information from Io. The albedo of Io (il primo a Sx) is a bright 0,6, while Europa (the brightest) is 0,64. Ganymede's albedo is just 0,42 and then - last - the dark Callisto is only 0,2.
