Reply to comment by GraveSlayer726 in Latest video of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter kicking up dust and taking off for Flight #47. Ingenuity is well beyond its warranty at this point. The video was captured by the Mastcam-Z imager aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover on March 9, 2023. by ICumCoffee
It depends on how much dust there is nearby and the time of day, but sometimes it can kinda look blueish. Normally it ranges around white, grey and brown.

The only time Mars has a blue sky is when the image is in false color in order for scientists to see how rocks would look like in Earthlike lighting. Mars atmosphere always has at least some high altitude dust in it that makes the atmosphere at the very least a kind of light tan. On average the atmosphere is very dusty though so it tends to look almost the color of rust.
