Not that people could discern Uranus and Neptune based on those pictures without finding those exact ones in their respective Wikipedia entries...

sorry to break it to you chief, but in reality, neptune is not darker blue, i learnt it recently, but the darker color comes from some magazine print which got very popularised. from the images, the look basically same.

Neptune's great dark spot is clearly visible, and thus immediately identifies it as such.
