The refractive index of air at standard temperature and pressure is 1.00029. Outer space is much more rarefied and so the index is closer to 1 but it is still denser than a total vacuum and so the index is greater than 1. This means that electromagnetic waves with smaller frequencies will travel slower. Thus, blue light will travel slower than red.
