Behold, Approximate True Colour Neptune
Wikipedia - Neptune - Colour
Actually not that blue, compared to Earth.

Marble? More like a yoga ball.

Neptune looks much less blue in real color when compared to the Voyager photos we're used to. In real color, Earth looks like a much deeper blue, while Neptune looks like a pale, foggy, light blue.

Shame. Pale blue marble doesn't roll off the tongue.

It's really more like a balloon to me. Because it's a gas giant.

I feel that the bigger audacity is the real name. Earth means soil, yet maybe 25% of the surface is soil.
