Pluto Changing Colors
Pluto's surface sports a remarkable range of subtle colors, enhanced in this view to a rainbow of pale blues, yellows, oranges, and deep reds. Many landforms have their own distinct colors, telling a complex geological and climatological story that scientists have only just begun to decode. Spurned Pluto is changing its looks, donning more rouge in its complexion and altering its ice ball surface here and there.

Pluto
A series of new photos sent back to Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope showed the color of Pluto changing and the ice blocks on its surface moving. Pluto might be made of ices, but it's reddish in hue and has variations all over its surface. We finally understand why! Pluto includes a wealthy number of colors on its surface, based on observations out Thursday from Nasa's New Horizons probe that stunned astronomers.
The probe's first printed science results revealed deep red parts in the equator from the dwarf planet to lighter and bluer regions at greater latitudes. This article says [Pluto] is about 20% redder than it used to be. Have there been any further articles/Hypotheses on both the cause of the color, and more importantly, the color change? Or do we.

The processing creates images that would approximate the colors that the human eye would perceive, bringing them closer to "true color" than the images released near the encounter. This image was taken as New Horizons zipped toward Pluto and its moons on July 14, 2015, from a range of 22,025 miles (35,445) kilometers. When viewed in enhanced color, the icy, outer world of Pluto looks very different from its more uniform, subdued hues.
The hilly plains in Pluto's heart-shaped area are mostly uniform, as a flat. The Discovery of Pluto's Color The discovery of Pluto's color dates back to the 1950s, when astronomers first began to study the planet using telescopes. Initially, Pluto appeared as a faint, grayish-white dot in the sky, but as technology improved, scientists were able to gather more detailed information about its color.
