The true color product maps Sentinel-2 band values B04, B03, and B02 which roughly correspond to red, green, and blue part of the spectrum, respectively, to R, G, and B components.

The true color product maps Sentinel-2 band values B04, B03, and B02 which roughly correspond to red, green, and blue part of the spectrum, respectively, to R, G, and B components of the image shown.
32
+
33
+
But what color is true color? Various additional processing steps can be applied to scale the image values in a range that is well perceived and pleasing to the eye [(Sovdat et al, 2019)]((https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034425719300422)).
34
+
35
+
- For the default script here, we apply simple gain correction, multiplying the pixel values of each image band with a single constant value. This is the `gain` parameter which can be adjusted in the script window.
36
+
37
+
- For [Copernicus Browser](https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/), we chose to apply default a true color script which adds [Highlight Compression](https://docs.sentinel-hub.com/api/latest/evalscript/functions/#highlightcompressvisualizer) and also saturation and contrast adjustment. In this context, saturation is the brightness of colours in the image and contrast is the difference between the bright and dark areas.
38
+
The current True Color algorithm for Copernicus Browser can be accessed as [Sentinel-2 L2A optimized True Color](https://custom-scripts.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-2/l2a_optimized/) and is also compatible with EO Browser.
39
+
40
+
- The default True Color script in [EO Browser](https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/) is more simple, with Highlight Compression between specific `min` and `max` values. The `min` and `max` values are user-adjustable, and of course, this script also works in Copernicus Browser
