I assume the question refers to the different-colored "belts" on Jupiter and Saturn.

True, as far as lateral wind belts are concerned. See http://lifeng.lamost.org/courses/astrotoday/CHAISSON/AT311/HTML/AT31102.HTM

The different colors are due to a different cause that applies to the giant planets: zones of vertical convection cells.
