In the pilot episode, why is the surface of Mars not red?

Back then they didn't know that Mars was red.

Yes they did. Considering Mars is visibly red to the naked eye, it's hard to miss.

It's funny - they actually did (on the show, no less). In "Shadow of Fear", Breck calls Mars "The Red Planet" before looking in a telescope that showed a very non-red planet.

It just seemed like something they'd do for a children's show: make it red.
