With its second to last swing by Titan the curtain has now opened on Cassini's final act. What wonders will we see in the rings?

That's some impressive clouds! What I find interesting is that they are visible in the visible part of spectrum, and have a reddish colour:

Might the clouds appear reddish because they are truly white but are above a significant fraction of the atmosphere's methane, which absorbs red? In other words, are they perhaps less-blue rather than more-red?
