Well, I suspect that the colour is in the eye of the beholder really, from down here, the atmosphere probably imparts some colour, particularly as it was very smoggy here yesterday.
Unless someone has seen it unaided, we're all just guessing ;-)
I tried to balance the rings and forget about the planet, also tried to make the sky look black. I guess that the rings are mainly made up of white/grey material, so should reflect white light from the sun, the clouds obviously absorb some wavelengths.
Here's the tif files to play around with...
Cheers
