Here's a nice photo of Daphnis in the Keeler gap in real color! It was taken by Cassini on July 5, 2010 - taken in red, green, and blue and then recombined.

The moon Daphnis is barely visible at the top of the gap between two dim yellowish surfaces, which are two parts of Saturn's A-ring. This image is from here: https://www.planetary.org/space-images/daphnis-in-keeler-gap where it says: "Daphnis makes waves in the Keeler Gap Daphnis and waves of ring particles kicked up by gravity, imaged by Cassini in true color on July 5, 2010.
