6. What color is Saturn Planets have the colors that they have because of what their made of and how their surfaces or atmospheres reflect and absorb sunlight. Saturn is also a gas giant with an outer atmosphere that is mostly hydrogen and helium. It’s atmosphere has traces of ammonia, phosphine, water vapor and hydrocarbons giving it a yellowish brown color.
