Both were captured in black and white by the navigation cameras aboard Curiosity, with NASA having decided to add color to allow us to admire the scene with a higher level of detail.
“ After being sent back to Earth, the two images were combined”, refers to NASA about this “postal”. “ Color was added for an artistic interpretation of the scene, with blue representing the morning and yellow representing the late afternoon”.
Curiosity fans can even see a good piece of rover in the image, while in a sand dune “admiring” the landscape. It is also worth admiring this photograph you can find below.
