It makes no sense to me either. The only conspiracy explanation i've heard that makes any sense (and not very much at that) is that NASA wants to show the world that mars is less "hospitable" then it really is.
Okay, we send a 800 million dollar probe to another planet, one that we know has a very thin atmosphere, colder then heck, no surface liquid water, and no oxygen, all facts we can gather from here on earth by any institution with a resonable size telescope, and NASA needs to fiddle with the color because they don't want folks to know that it really is more habitable then it really is...
