The colors are used to highlight the different features of Saturn's atmosphere. Red indicates the storms eye. The yellow-green represents the jet streams. Orange shows low lying clouds. The blue is Saturn's rings.
they are essentially large, swirling masses of gas, similar to how you might imagine a swirling vortex of liquid, but on a much larger scale and composed of the gases that make up Saturn's atmosphere, primarily hydrogen and helium; these storms can be incredibly large and long-lasting
I've been thinking the same, they look so perfect, beautiful but just something about them feels artificial. (I know normal images are composites of lots of pics and are technically artificial)
Go to the source. The watermark says NASA, ESA, etc., via cassini space probe, so search for Cassini pictures of Saturn on NASA's official outlets. Reverse image search to make this even easier.
Saturn’s Northern Hexagon seems like the perfect spot for Christmas. Cold, distant, and far from Quinn, her friends, their babies, and all that parental pressure. Just me, the void, and some atmospheric chaos. Sounds ideal.
I am sure smart people have a real explanation but my personal headcanon is that the inward and outward pressure of the storm is insanely high so it crushes a circular storm into a hexagon shape.
The cause of the hexagon is a mix of complex factors, including:
Jet stream: A jet stream is pinched by smaller cyclones, forcing it upward
Wind: Winds below the cloud level help with shape and control its drift
Rossby waves: Saturn may have a planetary-scale Rossby wave, caused by planet rotation and high-altitude winds
Atmospheric density: higher density may cause its waves to evolve into a more stable wave form
Turbulent compressible convection: violently whirling compressible gas undergo convection

It would seem that, eventually, the mixture would become evenly disbursed and uniform in color.
But nooo00oooo!
This is HIGHLY inappropriate!
