| Ooops, my bad.  Except for the fact that "natrium" is called
| "nitrogen" in
| English, you're correct that most of the atmosphere is nitrogen, not

| still dominant in determining color.  Web searches turned up

| informative on this--does anyone know for sure?

        It's caused by both Nitrogen and Oxygen.
