    Answer: Methane is the gas responsible for the bluish green color.

    Explanation:

    Methane gas found at the surface of Uranus and Neptune strongly absorbs the red light coming from the Sun and scatters blue light more easily. Therefore methane is responsible for the striking appearance at the planets surface.
