The image above taken by Spirit Rover is one taken by NASA and is "Radiometrically Calibrated" This image represents true color on Mars. These images are not generally released to the public yet are not dificult to find. However for the time bring you will have to track them down yourself as we are not ready to hand over this source just yet...

In the meantime below is a small sample of Scoria or Vesicular Basalt.  You can see the bluish black natural color of this material and it is readily found on Earth as one of the more common lavas...
