No, Neptune is not quite as cold as the dwarf planet Pluto. Pluto's temperatures vary from a low of about 33 K to a high of about 55 K. Neptune's temperatures in its upper atmosphere reaches a low of about 51.7 K (−221.4 °C). That's not a lot of difference, but it's pretty clear that Neptune is edged out for the most frigid of the "original planets" in the solar system.

If you meant to ask which planet is sometimes farther from the Sun than Pluto, the answer is Neptune.
