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?
