Why do they call Mars the red planet when it's really more of a ruddy brown?

[spudnik]

They tried "blood orange" but someone called them out on that. They figured the less specific the better.

[earthlike]

But... Is it even really that red?

[spudnik]

Through a telescope, kinda.

In person? Definitely not, I agree with you 100%. Definitely more orange than red.

[earthlike]

They should rename it then. The orange planet.

The burnt sienna planet.

[spudnik]

The atomic tangerine planet.

[earthlike]

The bastard amber planet.

How many other shades of reddish-orange exist? We could be here all day. All year even.
