America the Beautiful sings of "purple mountain majesties," but after deadly Hurricane Michael passed through Florida's panhandle, it was the skies that turned an eerie purple....

Reporters and residents shared images of post-storm skies ranging from a light lavender to a deep violet, and it turns out there's a scientific explanation for the unusual hues.

The human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color.

(singing) Again I long to see and do
the things we've done and seen,
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar
and there's forty shades of green.
