    Well they do have distingtive features, apart from base color so names represent a type:

    Saturn has (the biggest and most obvious) rings;
    Jupiter has (the biggest and most obvious) stripes;
    Neptune has... well this type is a bit bland compared to the 2 other types... so the "basic" gas type with no spots/ obvious rings/ stripes.

    That's why the Grand Designer puts it last in the Solar system, knowing it was not very attractive for tourists compared to the other 2.

    How me make uran of aqua color?
    and change the tilt angle to 97.86° After all, this is the most beautiful gas giant.

    You cannot. The gas Giants are hard coded models you cannot change.

    But what you can do is set any planet type as a gas giant and make your own, though it won't look nearly as good and you have to use the game playfield settings to make a custom planet to do it.

    Yes, but there are size restrictions
    SizeRange: [5] maximum if I'm not mistaken.
    (it will be scanty even at maximum size.)
    I can't make rings.
    In short, it will turn out badly.
    My only option is to set neptune and uranium to be the same as blue neptune.
    And the developers can add the Azure Giant, isn't that difficult?

    You can set any planet as a gas giant and choose whatever size you want in either the sectors or solarsystemconfig files. Of course this, like all modding of configs, can possibly break your scenario so you'd need to test.
