Did the great red spot turn white?

The planet is browner than I expected.

Remember Webb takes images in infra-red so to make the images visible to us the colors have to be artificially assigned.

Webb was using infrared. Not even visible to mere humans. So they assign a spectrum translation so we can see what we paid for.
