Photos from the Voyager era show it to be on the border of blue and green, particularly greenish in some of them. On the other hand, amateur astronomers report from their backyards a definite "blue blob". So what colour would Uranus appear to human eye? Was the greenish tint made up as a distinction from Neptune? Or was it some flaw in image processing?

QUOTE No because I hate that website's over-the-top obnoxious ads so much... adds what adds i use No-script and ad block pulse along with some sites in my HOST file redirected back to 127.0.0.1 ( about 12,000 of them) i guess i am a bit spoiled by not seeing 95%+ of the adds i have always gone with these colors ( except for the now missing "great dark spot") [attachment=19973:neptune.jpg] [attachment=19974:uranus.jpg] |

Using Voyager color is treacherous. I strongly recommend Hubble or Voyager OGV images shifted to match Hubble color.
