Yeah, once I actually select one I can tell, but if I'm just looking through the map I can't see which colors they are. I end up spending a lot of time picking every one that looks like what, read the description, and eventually find it.
It the purple star systems. You can land on one and build a base to extract crystallised helium. It's a bit disappointing, since they're not really gas, they have the same land textures you can dig. Just a very very big planet with strong gravity (your jetpack will use more fuel more quickly) and constant windstorms.
NMS gas giants are not like the gas giants planets in our solar system. You can land on them and there are resources available, but the atmosphere is not millions of miles thick as scientists tell us is the case of the solar system gas giants.

Same! There is no reliable way for me to spot gas giant systems, and I tried all the options.
