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

Back then they didn't know that Mars was red.
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.
Well don't come crying to me when you all get killed!

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