Matt, Uranus will only look like any other star in your finderscope or in a 40mm eyepiece.
They are fine to find the area you are looking for, but you will need at least 100x mag around a 12mm eyepiece,in a 10" scope to see a disc.
It should look blue to Turquoise.
Sometimes if the seeing is poor, most stars can look like a disc.
Cheers
