so this is related to a different planet/civilization me and my friend have in mind.

The civilization is an intelligent life living far from earth, but what I have been thinking of is making the creatures and the planet itself have more of a purple/dark hue, the planet has vegetation, thick and big tress along with big sources of water.

I was thinking that the purple hue was caused by the sun of that planet having different rays then our sun, but I wonder if anyone could give me a more scientific explanation for the purple/dark hue, also would this planet even work out?

Ultraviolet Spectrum

The sk

The light that reaches the surface is purple due to atmospheric stuff. See answers to this question. The planet is also very hot because there is a lot of purple light. The animals are colored purple to reflect most of the visible light and not overheat. Their real colorings are in a band invisible to human eyes.

  • $\begingroup$ @SaBeus I imagine they would be fine moving from their high-radiation planet to the low-radiation Earth. $\endgroup$
