The normal matter consists of atoms that makes up the stars, planets, animals and every other thing in the space. This is the distribution of the components present in the space. The blue color (69.86%) represent Dark Energy. Dark Energy is responsible for the expansionof our universe.   The red color (0.6%) reresent Heavy Elements and Neutrino. The pink color (0.6%) represent Stars. The green color (3.99%) represent Freen Hydrogen and Helium.  Hydrogen and Helium are the two most abundant gases in the space. The yellow color(24.95%) represent Dark Matter. Dark Matter that constitutes 25% of the space refers to the matter that does not emit light, and cannot be seen. But its presence can be determined by the gravitational effects on other bodies.
