There are some addons that propose to replace a Celestia's texture by other one, as happens in this case (also in "Snowball Earth", "Blue Mars", etc.). I use the "alternative surface" method, which does not modify the original files.

1. Change the name of the new texture ("mars" for "mars-new", for example).

2. Create an SSC file (simple notepad file saved as "(any name).ssc "

3. Type in this file:

AltSurface "Fantasy Coloured Mars" "Sol/mars"
{
Texture "mars-new.*"
BumpMap "marsbump.*"
}

4. Create in Celestia/Extras a folder (any name) that includes:
a) Your file SSC
b) Sub-folder: textures/medres (or hires in this case)/mars-new

Run Celestia, go to Mars, click right button on the planet. In "Alternate Surfaces" select "Fantasy Coloured Mars". This way you can have all the alternative surfaces that you wish without changing the original texture.
(I apologize for my English.)
