Generalities

A colour image is normally three greyscale images. This may indeed be how the colour image was obtained: some of the astronomical pictures of planets and satellites of the solar system seen from spacecraft were obtained by putting a green filter and taking a greyscale image, then repeating with red and blue filters.
