Actually... in this case I think the bright orange works very well. It
provides a nice contrast to the other colors that were used in the module
itself. But then I have a soft spot in my heart for bright orange. :)

Perhaps the tan if the model were photographed in low light conditions.
Otherwise I think it might be too yellow/beige to be the 'red planet'.
However, in some cases the surface can appear to be a dark yellow/brown,
such as in this pic:

In other shots, it takes on the true 'red' of the red planet. This is still
one of my all-time favorite shots of Mars:

There's something creepy and foreboding about that pic.

What about the dark orange/burnt orange color that shows up in the front of
Yoda.... presumably a small cloak under his other tan cloak. That's a very
soft brown orange color. It's still really not red enough to be the rust
color of Mars, but it's getting there.
No matter what color it's done in I love all the activity in this model. It
looks like there's a lot going on in just the space of that one baseplate.
Well done!
All the best,
Allan B.
