You can display gray-value images in color. You can do this using color tables.
Task
Create a color table which displays dark gray-values in yellow, and light gray-values in different shades of red. And, the lighter the gray values are; the lighter the shades of red are to be.
On the left is the gray-value image. On the right the image has been colored with a color table. The coloring allows you to see more details in the dark and light gray-value range.
