"Revealed: Color-Corrected Photos Unmask the True Robin's Egg Blue of Uranus and Neptune"

TL;DR Summary
A University of Oxford study has revealed that Neptune and Uranus are actually a similar shade of greenish-blue, contrary to the distinct blue and light green colors depicted in images from the Voyager 2 spacecraft in the 1980s. The study, which used advanced imaging data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope, corrected the color misrepresentations caused by the original composite images. The research also explained the slight color changes in Uranus observed from Earth during its orbit, which are influenced by the planet's unusual spin and seasonal haze variations.
