To day we conducted an experiment to model the colour of planets and/or stars. The experiment involved burning various metal chlorides e.g copper chloride, magnesium chloride, e.t.c, what examining what colours they made.
Although the flames colour we were examining was determined by the metal in the molecules of the metal chloride being burn't. While the colour of stars are determined not by what their made of, but by their temperature. their for this experiment was not a accurate representation for the colour of stars.
Also since matter has different colours in different states of matter, this also will not represent planets unless they are really hot and are on fire.
