You can see gases Bromine and nitrogen dioxide are orange, chlorine is yellow-green in colour. So these gases are very clearly visible.

To the extent that we can create closed containers using our hands we can hold gases but the gases will gradually leak out. Besides, with the gases mentioned above it is not a good idea to hold them.

A gas cannot be held because its particles are far apart and in constant motion so they slip away in any direction. It's not true that they all can't be seen. Some gases are coloured, e.g. chlorine is green and nitrogen dioxide appears brown.

Gasses does not have a specific shape. So they cannot be held. But the gasses with colours can be seen.

What does natural gas look like?

you cant really see natural gas just like you cant see wind or air but it there none the less. You can't see it, you can only smell it I think. natural gas is in a vapor form and isn't visible by the human eye. The only you can smell natural gas is because they add a sulfur scent to it for safety! Definitely do the "sniff test" if you're concerned about leaking natural gas!
