Jupiters color is a combination of white, orange, brown, and red. The colors of Jupiters atmosphere are created when different chemicals reflect the Suns light. Most of Jupiter is hydrogen and helium, but the top of its clouds are composed of ammonia crystals, with trace amounts of water ice and droplets, and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. Clouds of these elements create shades of white, orange, brown, and red. The color of Jupiter changes with storms and wind in the planets atmosphere. Scientists have been using the color of Jupiter to understand the atmospheric workings of the planet. Sometimes the colors of Jupiter are enhanced in images for scientific reasons or for artistic purposes.
