This is how you can tell Google has money to burn: it paints the cooling pipes in its data centres using the colours from its logo.
Google doesn’t offer open access to its data centres, but Business Insider compiled a photo tour of images Google has published of its various locations. It’s the coloured piping that really jumps out for us. Water cooling isn’t the only option for cooling a data centre, but it’s a popular choice, though managing the water itself can be tricky.

Smart move. Even if costly, with so many pipes it’s sometimes good to know which one is which.

Whats next, using different coloured Ethernet cables to mean different things?
For a moment, I thought I was looking at the inside of the Enterprise for Star Trek 3 (pre-lens flare). Which one is the GNDN pipe ?
