Okay, I was immediately and completely on board with Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet, but I do not know if I can cope with Neptune "losing" its lovely blue color!!!
TIL: A lifetime of illustrations of our solar system left me with very specific emotional attachments.
Uranus and Neptune are actually similar blues, 'true' color images reveal

Look at this! It's broken my little blue heart.
If they both have to be the same color, why can't it be the cool Neptune color and not the boring Uranus color??
@bright_helpings i’ve always thought it was odd that Neptune was so much darker than the other cloudy planets—little disappointing to find out the answer is just “human error” but glad of an explanation nonetheless!
