The F200W − F444W scattered-light color map of the TW Hya disk, derived from the final deconvolved images after resampling the F200W data to the F444W pixel grid. The color is predominantly blue (negative values), indicating that the disk is brighter at F200W than at F444W, a signature of scattering by small dust grains. A small, slightly redder region is visible near the center, which may indicate a change in dust properties or be an artifact of the image processing in this high-contrast region.
