Shades of brown and red colored in on top of strips of paper on a bulletin board. It's a fairly large board, though you can't really tell that from the photo! The lower right is dark and the upper left is brighter.

The detectors in the MIRI instrument on JWST are amazing, super sensitive, and also annoying little snowflakes - as many of you have already discovered. Our paper looking at their behaviors and performance is now published and available: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023PASP..135g5004M/abstract
