The planet Neptune looks blue because of the methane gas in the atmosphere.
The methane absorbs the red spectrum from the dim sunlight that reaches Neptune and reflects the blue spectrum. This gives the impression to us that Neptune is a blue planet.
Whether Neptune really is blue or whether it's just an illusion caused entirely by reflected light is open for debate.
