Head-to-head processing comparison on Mars. One-shot colour on left & IR + synthetic Green + Blue composite on right. The IR(sG)B shows more cloud details & is much better when seeing poor but, when the seeing is good, & you are diffraction limited, the colour resolution wins out as the airy disc size is smaller due to the shorter wavelength.
