What is the colour of solid oxygen?

Answer 1

Liquid oxygen and solid oxygen both have a pale blue color:

"Liquid O2 and solid O2 have a light blue color and both display unusual paramagnetic properties, due to the negative exchange energy between neighbouring 02, . Liquid O2 is usually obtained by the fractional distillation of liquid air. "

In case you're wondering:
Liquid and solid O3 (ozone) have a deeper color of blue.

Answer 2

proficiscor has the right answer. Solid oxygen reflects blue light slightly more than the rest of the visible spectrum, so it appears pale blue. Solid ozone's spectral reflectance is even more weighted toward blue, so it's a deeper blue color. I first learned this as a boy reading a science fiction story by John W. Campbell, Jr. Two astronauts rambling around the solar system found themselves on a distant outer planet and had to make hydrogen and oxygen combine into water.

Answer 3

Solid oxygen is blue.

Answer 4

Pale blue colour.

Answer 5

It is pale blue as its spectral property says that it absorbs a colour
opposite to its reflected colour(pale blue)

Answer 6
