Mars does look even more red in the early morning as seen here in an untouched single frame digital photo of the planet at the eyepiece taken at 9:09 AM Pacific Standard Time (obviously after the Sun has risen). By the way Saturn looks brownish as well but more closer to dawn than after sunrise.
If you want to see even more apparent color look at Mars (or even Saturn) with both eyes open, one in the Ep and the other at the "virtual" image that appears.

Regards,
Greg

What type of setup are you using?

Btw, Thanks for posting the photo. I am a visual observer and that is far closer to what I can see in real time then the beautiful multi-pass processed photos that are usually posted.
