The average color of each country in Europe

30 comments
  1. Spain definitely looks drier than Europe at first sight in Google Earth, but I don’t see Portugal being browner than Italy or Greece.

  2. I would expect countries like Ukraine (70% farmland, most of it grain) to be more yellow, but it depends on what time of year the imagery is acquired.

  3. How do you get this average colour?

    I’d think the whole northwestern Iberia greenery would give you a different average.

  4. I’m high af right now and for some reason read: ‘average hair colour for each country’ and was so confused. In my head I was like: ‘oh yeah this makes sense: when you put blond and brown together you get green right? Wait a second, that doesn’t make much sense. Oh wait black also goes in there.. oh wait that still doesn’t make sense’.

    Alright love you all have a nice day

  5. This is why I wouldn’t want to live in Spain or Portugal, too hot! Even from space you can see the grass is half dead from it. I’m too well adjusted to a cool climate for that, I bitch and moan even during hot days in UK summers. The worst heat I ever experienced was visiting France during the 2003 heatwave, four of us trapped in a tiny camping van with no air conditioning. I even remember seeing somebody pass out from the heat at Disneyland Paris. It ruined the whole trip and we returned home early on the ferry. I think I should just move to Iceland.

  6. Problem solved: almost all of us are already green, even before the deadline! Iberia might need a minute or two.

  7. Perhaps i have too little information available but isnt the average useless for large and diverse patches of land given that two regions of the same country might have very distinct colours but they cancel each other out giving something in between which might be misleading. Yet again, it does seem like most countries are very uniform in which case its probably quite accurate.
