Uranus and Neptune are different colors, right?
Not really. The Voyager 2 images of Neptune were both contrast enhanced and colored a little too blue, differing from true color to bring out the details of the planet. Sorry to ruin your childhood.
Here is a re-colored version of the Voyager 2 images, using additional color data from #Hubble and #ESO's Very Large Telescope to get closer to the "true color".
