Why do all the pics of mars that are shown have to color extracted or why dont they show the real colors?
 
what does "color extracted" mean?

the pictures are assembled from monochrome images taken through colour filters, standard practice in scintific imaging. the intent is maximum detail and contrast of interesting things. pretty pictures are secondary. eyes evolved on earth may miss important detail.
