What paint color would I use?....For planets?

Mercury: Gray\nVenus: Bright white\nEarth: You have seen the pictures. Mostly blue with lots of white spots and swirls and maybe some green and tan for the land.\nMars: Pale salmon color.\nJupiter: White with horizontal brown bands.\nSaturn: Honey color\nUranus: Light blue\nNeptune : Darker blue.\nYou can see the pictures I have taken of these planets at the source below. I have tried to make the colors match, as closely as possible, what I really see in the eyepiece of the telescope, except for Mars which just looks too plain without enhancing the colors. For Mars, be sure to click on the "Click here to see more Mars images." link and see the one truly natural color picture about half way down the page.

You could make a model of the solar system.  Use different sized Styrofoam balls for the planets.

hot pink\nheliotrope (kind of a weird pinkish purple)

<font color=white>\n\nOr whatever colour you want. Yellow is good on dark backgrounds  too. Even light grey.

I would use the blackberry as your main color to really make a statement.  The orange and latte mixed with a touch of ivory (not white) would GORGEOUS!  I think that your colors sound stunning but remember that less is better in terms of solid LARGE lots of color.\n\n-EZ

Add a touch, a little touch of red to yellow, this may help, if applied thinly it can look like skin.\n\nAlways work using light to dark, so if a light colour doesn't work you can go over it.\n\nAlso try different colours, you may find that playing with ideas lead you to other pieces of art, it is also a good way to get to know the paint you are using, how to mix to get light/dark colours etc.\n\nAlso never use white, it makes the colour look to solid, and takes away from the pictures quality

Earth: The Lone Pale Blue Dot?\nNovember 02, 2006 \n\nA recent photo from the Cassini spacecraft shows the mighty planet Saturn, and if you look very closely between its wing-like rings, a faint pinprick of light. That tiny dot is Earth bustling with life as we know it. The image is the second ever taken of our world from deep space. The first, captured by the Voyager spacecraft in 1990, stunned many people, including the famous astronomer Carl Sagan who called our seemingly miniscule planet a "pale blue dot" and "the only home we've ever known." \n\nLast September, a portion of Cassini's picture showing Earth was unveiled to an auditorium full of scientists attending the third Pale Blue Dot workshop at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. The workshop brought together scientists from across the country and beyond to talk about how to find life elsewhere in our universe, a central theme in the interdisciplinary field of astrobiology. When the workshop participants were presented with the picture, they spontaneously began to clap. One of their fundamental goals is to capture a portrait like Cassini's showing another "pale blue dot" like Earth in a planetary system beyond our own. \n\nIf scientists do ever acquire such a photo, how will they figure out whether anybody is home? Workshop participant Dr. Wes Traub of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena says a photo of a light-blue extrasolar planet - a planet outside our solar system - might indicate the planet has an atmosphere, a tantalizing sign that it could support life. "In our solar system, we are the only small light-blue planet," he said. Earth appears blue because its atmosphere scatters blue light around, literally filling the sky with the color blue. \n\nBut colors are only clues. A planet with an atmosphere might be blue, or not. Mars has an atmosphere, albeit a thin one, and it's red. The blue light in the martian skies is soaked up by iron-containing molecules on the surface that radiate red. \n\nUltimately, astrobiologists will need additional data to determine whether an extrasolar planet is habitable, and if so, whether it harbors life. Future planet-finding missions like NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder are expected to return both valuable "spectral" data and imagery of planets looking small enough to fit on a pin. Spectra are surveys of an object's rainbow-like array of different wavelengths of light. They reveal the presence of specific molecules. \n\nTo determine if a planet is livable, scientists will look for carbon dioxide and water vapor, signposts that a planet has an atmosphere and oceans, respectively. Atmospheres not only provide air to breathe, but also act like blankets to keep a planet warm and help buffer potential residents from damaging ultraviolet and cosmic rays. Oceans help regulate a planet's temperature and provide liquid water, an essential ingredient for life on Earth. \n\nOther molecules enveloping a planet, such as oxygen, ozone and methane, can suggest that life itself has taken root. On Earth, oxygen is "breathed out" by plants, and methane by micro-creatures living in swamps and animals. These chemicals don't stick around for long on their own, so if they are hanging around an extrasolar planet, then something must be pumping the stuff out. That something could be life, but this isn't always the case. Saturn's moon's Titan is shrouded in an atmosphere containing lots of methane not produced by life. \n\nScientists say that oxygen is a more reliable sign of life than methane, but if they found large quantities of both, they'd be more convinced. "Finding two of these molecules together would be much better than one. The more, the better," said Dr. Victoria Meadows of NASA's Spitzer Science Center, Pasadena, who served as chair of the third Pale Blue Dot conference. "For example, if we found carbon diox

Why is the sky blue ?  Why is the sun yellow ? That is a very logical question guy please, lemme see um cause maybe JUST MAYBE if we do it standing up like you guys, how do I put this umm not a pretty picture right ?  so duh !

I'd suggest a thorough understanding of chemistry and physics. You need to know trajectory and what to mix with what to get the different colors.

Try the links below.\n\nIf you're talking about lighting, then do a search for neon light and coatings.  This link\n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.neonshop.com/krypton/colors.html\n\nmay be a good start for this category.

Yes, here you go:  http://www.sherwin.com/do_it_yourself/paint_colors/\n\nGo to that website, then click on "Color visualizer".  You can even pick what your furniture looks like to see how it will look with your colors.  \n\nI moved into a place with an orange bedroom and I couldn't live with it, and this helped me pick a color.  I would still recommend getting a small can of paint and doing a test patch before you do the whole room.\n\nGood luck!

Chlorine is greenish yellow in gaseous form.  You wouldn't want to use it in your project as it is very poisonous.  \n\nIf you are just going to write about your planet (not build a model) then I suppose you could imagine a planet with a chlorine based atmosphere but unless the laws of chemistry are different in your universe I think the chlorine would react with all sorts of other elements forming solid compounds.  Chlorine wouldn't last long.\n\nIt is possible that your planet's life forms could use chlorine instead of oxygen.  Then the "plants" of that world could replenish its chlorine with a process like photosynthesis.\n\nIf Arthur and Ford visit there they will have to wear space suits to stay alive!\n\nIf you want your atmosphere to glow you could give the planet a strong magnetic field and have it circle a very active sun.  Then there would be auroras in the sky all the time.  That might make it hard for life to get a foothold though.

This site says the Martian Sky is butterscotch (yellowish brown):\n\nhttp://webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/14C.html\n\nThis page from the recent Mars rover missions say brownish grey:\n\nhttp://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/sky/PIA01547.html\n\nThe problem of calibrating the images to get a true color is not a simple one:\n\nhttp://mars.spherix.com/spie2003/SPIE_2003_Color_Paper.htm\n\nLook at pictures on the following sites:\n\nhttp://www.marsnews.com/\nhttp://marsrovers.nasa.gov/home/index.html\nhttp://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/martianterrain/PIA00563.html\n\nand they show a pinkish brown sky.\n\nAnd, Mars does indeed have a measurable atmosphere with climate changes.  It is only about 1% of that on earth but it is there and it consists mostly of carbon dioxide.  It is this atmosphere that supports dust storms on the planet and dust devils that have been imaged.\n\nhttp://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/science/climate/index.html\nhttp://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/mars.html\nhttp://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/duststorms/index.html

Really this question should be in home and garden.  He should use an oil based paint.  water based will likely peal off.
