Why haven't the colors on Jupiter all mixed together yet?

Shouldn't it just be one big grey ball by now? What's separating the colors?

The core of Jupiter is very hot. As a result, there is a significant temperature differential between the upper layers of Jupiter's atmosphere, and the lower layers. This causes convection, which moves the atmosphere around (similar to our own atmosphere regarding global wind patterns and ocean currents). Additionally, the different gasses in Jupiter's atmosphere react relatively differently to heat and pressure, and so stratify into different layers. Each of these layers has a different color and behaves differently from one another and generally won't mix without outside influence. The rotation of the planet additionally affects the structure of Jupiter's atmosphere. All of these effects constantly acting together creates the banding and storms we observe on Jupiter.
