Jupiter: has orange and white bands; the white bands are colored by ammonia clouds, while the orange comes from ammonium hydrosulfide clouds.Saturn: pale yellow; ammonia haze covers the whole planet and obscures redder clouds below. Uranus: light blue; the color comes from methane clouds.upiter: has orange and white bands; the white bands are colored by ammonia clouds, while the orange comes from ammonium hydrosulfide clouds.

I've seen the same planet colored differently in different photos. Here are the true colors of the planets, with links to some relevant images from NASA spacecraft. (Note that spacecraft photos appearing in the media often have false coloration.) Mercury: gray (or slightly brownish). Mercury has practically no atmosphere, so we just see the rocky surface.
