Hello!
We have this map at work and I don't understand why some countries are in white and some are in blue. Anyone have any idea?
Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit
The colours are faded. Its a four colour print map, and the red faded from the green and purple, turning them both blue.
Basically, every colour printed uses a combination of inks, inks which fade over time when exposed to sunlight. Red fades first, and blue fades last (with the other coulours in between), resulting in (after a while) a blue and white map.
