The fifth planet from our sun is the gas giant Jupiter. This photo was captured by NASA spacecraft Juno, ...in October of 2018 during its 16th flyby of the planet. This snapshot is one of many that were turned into a motion picture of the fly by. Sky blue cloud layers storm against the famous red features Jupiter is known for. A formation resembling a dolphin can be seen in the cloud tops. Mineral like blues, a sage green, and a dusty beige complete this palette. Link to photo and Link to more information

This frozen jovian moon image seen here was taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft 1990s. Streaks of red and orange... scar the icy surface making the contrasting faint blues stand apart. These subtle colors hint at the subsurface ocean that is miles beneath the crust. This ocean makes Europa one of the most favorable candidates for investigating life beyond our own planet. Along with the different blues this palette hosts an creamy off-white as well as multiple greys. A soft brown and a tame purple are present as well. Link to photo Link to more information

Saturn is possibly the most striking planet adorned with it’s familiar rings. ...The soft yellow from ammonia crystals in Saturns’ atmosphere aren’t present in this visible blue light photo captured by the Cassini spacecraft in 2005. The rings are made of ice, dust, and other rocky material, hundreds of moonlets, and at least 146 moons including Titan, the only other place in our solar system surface liquid has been observed besides Earth. This image reveals the expansive ring system is only tens of meters thin. Link to photo Link to more information

Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has one of the brightest surfaces in solar system. ...Miles under it’s ice crust gives way to a subsurface ocean. Plumes jet frozen material out to space forming it’s own ring around Saturn, while the majority snows down on the surface. This renewal of fresh ice adds to it’s reflectiveness making this moon slightly colder than Saturn’s other moons. This photo is a false-color mosaic that uses various blues to accentuate geological features like fractures seen most prominent in the South Pole region resembling tiger stripes.

This photo of our seventh planet was acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it sped past this ice giant in 1986. ... While Uranus may appear monotone at first glance there is a broad gradiant of aqua blues as the colors make their way to shadowed side. Methane in the atmospere can be credited for the distinct blue we associate with this famous image. Despite not many visible cloud formations the winds can reach as fast as 900 kilometers an hour. Being limited in the range of tones makes this blue one of the most recognizable. Link to photo Link to more information

The eighth planet was also captured by Voyager 2. This photograph is a mosaic, stiched together from ... multible images to emphasize the cloud features. Neptunes palette consists of predominatly blues ranging from light power blue to darker chalky royal blue. While the atmoshere is mostly hydrogen and helium it's an unknown to what element gives this planet a more striking appearance. The winds are the strongest amongst the other planets in our solar system. Lavender-esque purples complete this palette. Link to photo Link to more information
