The best actual image we have is Hubble image. Some guys have also reconstructed surface image from its brightness variations, but it is only as good as this. Other folks took that data and computed true-color view. Yet another folks took same data and Ganimed images, and combined them into this detailed map for 3D rendering purposes. So, pick what's best for you.

EDIT:I had recently digged this topic out to get planet textures, but the above url no longer works. though it's still available via web archive, I've found new site here. /10.09.2007
