How do you tell the difference with the naked eye between Saturn Mars and Jupiter?

With the naked eye, it is practically impossible - ancient astronomers identified them by their locations in the sky. However, Mars is visibly red-tinged, and Saturn slightly yellower than Jupiter.
With some magnification, you can see faint lines on Mars, and Saturn will show its rings at some times of the year.
