It looks like a green texture to me, like land, not the ocean floor. I could be wrong though. Perhaps a dev would know what happened.

I may be wrong, but I think you can get that by playing around with the background settings. Ambient light can do (visual) wonders.

I guess it could be. Although, looking at the image closer, there doesn't appear to be an ambient light change. Usually, the stars in the background change in color too, at least when altering the ambient background.

Hmm...  :-\

It's not inconceivable to think that he could've modded it and added a gaia-type color palette for rocky worlds.

I did that very quickly, just to show how ambient light could affect the apparent color of a planet. I included the UI showing the advanced background settings I used.
That was supposed to prove my claim that ambient light could make a planet look green, not to prove that the OP pic is a fake.

Guys, it seems to be a glitch with the blueyellow background, it makes some random texture map super visible:

But it's still green.

Strange. Maybe the composition?

I had a cobalt blue planet with a bright blue atmosphere a few times
