This picture (MARCI2-2b) shows a color composite made from the MARCI red, green, and blue bands.
It differs from the MOC wide angle color composite because, to create a color image with MOC data, we synthesize (fake) a green channel by adding the red and blue channels together and dividing by two. The slightly greenish tint of the MARCI image shows that the approximation used for MOC images underestimates the amount of green. Further calibration will be needed before a "true" color image — as it would appear to a human eye looking down from orbit — can be reconstructed from the MARCI data.
