    Colour Sky
In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of changing the color of the sky from blue to something else, with suggestions such as pink and purple. This leads to a discussion about paisley becoming a fad and its inclusion in stews and as a garnish. The conversation also brings up the need for a poll and the mention of paisley as a garnish being incomplete without the addition of time.

If the sky could be any colour other than blue on a sunny cloudless day,
what colour would you want it to be? Do you think that we are all so used to the blue colour that we simply couldn't accept any other colour and would get depressed or at least very annoyed about it?

What, no poll :wink: ?

Hot pink and purple, like a beautiful sunset.

We need a poll.

Purple with the sun transitioning from yellow to orange to crimson.

Reminds me of the 60's. :cool:

Oh no it's ... paisley. (FST)

Why did paisley become such a fad?

We need a poll.

A power poll? A telephone poll? Or maybe a smelly pool, a pollcat? I think pitot should get the poll-itician award. Or maybe find a more meaningful diversion than PF polling.

Paisley adds color and flavor to stews, that's why it's so popular.

There is no accounting for taste.

It's also a popular garnish.

gar nichts are nothing with just paisley. You need to add time as well.

Always.
 

1. How would the sky look if it were a different color?

The color of the sky is determined by the way sunlight is scattered in the Earth's atmosphere. If we were to change the properties of the atmosphere, the sky could potentially appear to be a different color. For example, on Mars, the sky appears to be a reddish color due to the composition of the planet's atmosphere.

2. What would cause the sky to change color?

There are several factors that could potentially cause the sky to change color. These could include changes in the composition or density of the atmosphere, changes in the amount of particles or pollutants in the air, or changes in the position of the Sun in relation to the Earth.

3. How would a different colored sky affect the Earth's ecosystem?

The color of the sky has a significant impact on the Earth's ecosystem, as it affects the amount and quality of light that plants receive for photosynthesis. A different colored sky could potentially alter the growth and development of plants, which would have a cascading effect on the entire ecosystem.

4. Could humans adapt to a different colored sky?

Humans are highly adaptable creatures, and we have evolved to live in a wide range of environments. If the sky were to change color, it is likely that humans would be able to adapt to the new conditions. However, it could take some time for us to adjust and there may be some challenges in terms of navigation and color perception.

5. Is it possible for the sky to change color naturally?

While it is unlikely that the sky would change color drastically on its own, there are natural phenomena that can cause temporary changes in the color of the sky. For example, during sunrise and sunset, the sky can appear to be a variety of colors due to the scattering of light through the atmosphere. Additionally, natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions can release particles into the atmosphere that can temporarily alter the color of the sky.
