GRS: what a disappointment!

I thought I had seen Jupiter's GRS a number of times ..... but now I realize I didn't.
What I saw was the larger cream-colored oval within which lies the great red spot.
I'll have to try again now that I know.
What's your experience sighting the GRS: any tip as needed magnifications or anything else?

Antonio, I "think" it's just a matter of having good seeing conditions. I was looking at Jupiter(180x) the other evening from my balcony with my 4" apo. When the seeing became extremely steady for a brief instant, I thought I detected a bit of color within the oval. But to be totally honest, I've always considered the oval to be the red spot as well!
