Here is something close to what I was hoping y'all would find in publication. Mercury does seem to have a slight brown tinge in it (NASA/JPL image). I wonder, though, if Venus might be more yellow. Notice the blue streak in Saturn's northern clear atmosphere due to Rayleigh Scattering. I doctored Uranus and Neptune to more bland coloration.

The Sun isn't near as impressive as normal, but the evidence is quite strong favoring this view, IMO. I did add a tinge of blue in the center, but that is mostly wishful thinking. Yet, the central zone is 6390K, one would think it should have a little blue in it.

Hopefully, someday, someone will get these right so the future tourists that go up will know what to look for.
