For a truly mind-blowing experience, I'd love to see a ELP with responsible politicians and honest lawyers.

Great, now you have given FDev a reason to turn even more planets beige!
Well, only to make continents biege)
Because chlorophyll absorbs deep blue and red light, and thus appears to be green.
lol the typos in these replies are hilarious, so just to sum up:
the ELF needs to be "comfartable", however there's "no need for pants" and apparently all the life could be in the oceans turning the land into a "radish".
excellent - glad we made that clear

Here is some disagreement
http://www.solstation.com/life/a-plants.htm
Plant life-forms on alien wolrds can be green, but it's not a rule, it depends on many factors that were hinted in the link I gave.
Thou it can be possible that green-coloured vegetation can be dominant on most of carbon-based life habitable worlds.

That goes without saying. [yesnod]
Really, I found some agreement instead: "Most photosynthetic plants on Earth use chlorophyll which absorbs blue and red light and less green light and so appears green" - and given that we have, to date, found no extra-terrestrial plants this is pretty much nothing but theory. And you know scientists, they say all kinds of funny things... Pluto is a planet, Pluto is not a planet, global warming is real, global warming is a lie... just depends on who's funding their research.

Guess you have read only the first paragraph of the article and ignored the rest of it.
And on the last part of your commentary, well ... science is not a thing were you can be 100% sure.
And summing up, Pluto is a DWARF PLANET, global warming is real.
I have been asking for planets with visibly (from space) alien flora myself :
[SUGGESTION] Please introduce atmospheric planets with true alien looking ecologies, as seen from space!
FD,
What I do hope is that we will also see more planets with atmospheres that have truly alien looking ecologies.
Currently I encounter no atmospheric planets with truly differently coloured flora for example. I imagine not all plant life on a planet would have to be predominantly green for example. Why are there for example no planets with deep red and purple flora, or other colours? It could just be huge yellow or red tundras covered in weirdly coloured alien mosses or other growths.
I would like to see planets with flora that must be obviously alien, even when seen just from space.
Or perhaps seas that are coloured very differently because of alien algae and bacteria.
Or have I perhaps overlooked something?
In general I would like to see a bit more diversity in planetary colours, even on the planets without atmosphere.
Look at the spectacular pictures of Pluto for example.
So please FD, would you have a look at this?
I think it would be incredibly cool to see this in the game.
Even when we currently cannot yet access these planets, we should be able to recognize their fundamental alien character from orbit.
No, I did read the rest of it too, though xeno-botany is about as interesting to me as eating my shoe. And science is a thing where you can be →100% sure. If you can't reproduce it, can't verify it, can't be as close to 100% sure as you can be, it's just theory and conjecture, even when all the numbers look right.
And I am →100% sure there are no Dwarfs on Pluto.
Maybe Klingons two planets in, but definitely no Dwarfs on Pluto.

If it's that interesting to you, than why even reply to this thread?

You know what i mean, and if don't... well that sucks(
Because I can.
And because cholophyll is green, at least on Earth it is, and since we haven't found any on any other planet, it's just as likely it will be green there as well, though it could be blue or pink or colorless. But until we do find it, all we can do is speculate - and that's even based on the assumption that the entirety of the universe is not a great lifeless void in the first place and life on Earth is just an anomaly in the first place.
Or perhaps because a little mental acrobatics is just plain good for the synapses and playing "devil's advocate" and taking up an opposing point of view can be fun too.
I'll even up the odds and give a:

Well, Elite is Sci-Fi, even thou it is pretty authentic i terms of science, but still a Sci-Fi.
actually last tiem i saw an earth map there was much more beige and yellow desert and grey white tipped mountains than green. dont remember seeing elw when fly by with any mountain ranges or desert bands at equatorial regions.
