Examining the colours of the pixels to determine element/molecule type against a selection of 'known' colours we can get a picture as to atmosphere and ring.
The ring is a very dark blue but at the bright end of our colour picker its light blue. Not as light blue as we want it to be for Ozone, but no where near the deep blue of a Methane subtype. Methane I would have understood, because the planet atmosphere itself is probably methane. Ozone on the other hand suggests electrical storms in an oxygen atmosphere. Which is great if there is a planet in system with a magnetic field, and electrical storms.
All three samples from the planetary atmosphere on the other hand come back on the bright half of the colour picker with a pale yellow (bordering red spectrum) maximum. It needs to be far more 'yellow' to qualify as its methane subtype though the red of the star passing through the planetary atmosphere is probably tinting it. So its more yellow than it looks.
As you can see the colours of the max brightness pixels for our planetary atmosphere and ring.
Anyway it tells us the visible ring is on the dark side of the planet away from Proxima Centauri. The Atmosphere is being illuminated by the starlight passing through the Atmosphere so it looks bright on the dark side.
Proxima Centauri b?
Atmosphere: Methane
Ring: Ozone?
Its awesome what you can do with Apps.
