Yeah, James Webb is an infrared telescope, so everything it captures has to be shifted up to the visible spectrum, anyway. Jupiter is still its regular colors.

Absolutely, but they do select the colours per bandwidth so this would be deliberate.

Looks like it’s for the sake of high contrast to highlight specific cloud layers, yeah.
