The third-most-abundant component of Uranus's atmosphere is methane.
Methane has prominent absorption bands in the visible and near-infrared (IR) bands which means that the main colors it reflects are blue-ish (reds and yellows are heavily absorbed).
Both Uranus and Neptune do, giving them a blue colour (bluish green for Uranus).

Uranus is sometimes referred to as the green planet because of the presence of methane in its atmosphere. Methane absorbs red light and reflects green and blue light, giving the planet its distinctive color.
The gas that gives Uranus its blue color is methane. Methane in the planet's atmosphere absorbs red light wavelengths, leaving the blue and green wavelengths to scatter and create the planet's distinctive color.
Uranus is the greenish blue planet and it is gaseous.

Both Uranus and Neptune have methane in their atmosphere which absorbs red light, allowing the blue hues to be reflected. Neptune is a lot more of a blue colour than Uranus, but Uranus has more methane in its atmosphere. Its though that other constituents in Neptune enrich its blue colour.
No. The planet only appears blue due to all that methane in the athmosphere.
The planet Uranus is blue in colour.
