Yellow Bush. From the series; A Carpet of Primroses
However, outer space should not be (carbon)black, it should be (water)clear, not the opposite of (pitch)black, i.e. (snow)white, but transparent and non-opaque.

Early colour photographs, taken for the sake of colour, has been collected for the sake of colour by photographer Leif Preus (b.1928) and archived in Preus Museum. Salhus Røed has investigated this material and reprocessed two new series; Where the Mountains are Pink and A Carpet of Primroses.
