      The problem is that averaging hue makes no sense at all because hue is not a longest scale.

      If you take a red poster (0) and a blue poster (240), it averages to green. Or take red (0) and red (359), averaging to cyan (180).

        It would have made more sense if they had shown the distribution of hue as a polar graph and just had one every decade to show how it changes over time.
