摘　　要：As a child,my classmates and I almost always painted the sky blue in kindergarten and elementary school,and the idea of"blue skies"has become synonymous with happy times now,and good tidings ahead.But how did Ancient Mesopotamians think about the color of the sky,and its daylight and nighttime phenomena?Based on the cuneiform evidence,we first examine ancient concepts of blue and red in the heavens,and finish with evidence indicating the planet,Mars,was seen as the color"fire・red,''that is to say the color of the crayon today labeled"orange."
