From the article at Space.com---Saturn's Atmosphere: All the Way Down
"Saturn contains more sulfur than Jupiter, which give its zones and belts an orangish, smog-like cast."
There also is some oxygen, and water Ice, and other ice...and the reflection, refraction, may have something to do with it.
I also thought at first glance, the rings may diffuse some of the light also. But this does not always seem to be the case...I looked up COLOR pictures of Saturn, and while there are some that are blue, some are more golden...it could be filters and post production....If todays is Natural...then there has to be some natural mechanism for it.
It may also be SEASONS...and this would be due to the tilt of Saturn to the Sun....thus...some light is being filtered through the other layers, indirectly, thus not getting the same amount of exposure.
But I am just speculating....
