Finding the color was a byproduct of an examination of some 200,000
galaxies to determine the rate of star birth as the universe aged.

By giving a numeric value to the colors of the different galaxies,
adding
them together and then averaging them, they came up with their color,
which they dubbed cosmic spectrum green.


This then led them to the erroneous conjecture that the universe is
just one giant copper oxide molecule.
