[edit] Requested move
The Colour out of Space → The Colour Out of Space – Speedy move back to correct title. I blundered when I first moved this page (I suppose I had a bad case of Wiki-lowercase-itis).

[edit] "Mutagenic"
I removed the term "mutagenic" from the plot synopsis for a rather simple reason - DNA had not even been discovered during Lovecraft's lifetime, let alone when this story was written. Nice analysis from a 21st century viewpoint, but kind of ridiculus when taken in context. --71.201.77.111 01:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

- What's the problem with using the word mutagenic? The glowing plants are mutants. The mutation is caused by the metorite. Thus, the meteorite/color from space would be mutagenic. Merely because Lovecraft himself didn't know about DNA, doesn't mean this article shouldn't use the word.
