    Most of JWST’s wavelength range falls in the infrared, only overlapping the red end of the visible spectrum. That means basically all its images are in false color, showing infrared wavelengths as visible ones. I’d be surprised if any are true color images considering how boring they’d be (just some deep reds and oranges).
