Saturn's color is generally described as a pale yellow or yellow-brown hue. This coloration comes from ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere and traces of other gases like phosphine, water vapor, and hydrocarbons. The planet displays subtle bands and stripes in shades of yellow, brown, and gray, which are more pastel and less pronounced than those on Jupiter. These cloud bands and spots vary over time and contribute to the complex appearance of Saturn's atmosphere. Its famous rings appear in shades ranging from nearly white to light brown depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions
