Whos the say its not just a screen/wall saver? Remember there exists advanced technology.

I just assumed it was a live wallpaper type thing as well. I have a spinning galaxy wallpaper on my phone though, so maybe it just reminded me of it

In the book Mass Effect: Retribution on the first page the answer to this forum is found.
The Illusive Man sat in his chair, staring out the
viewing window that formed the entire outer wall of
his inner sanctum.
The unnamed space station he used as his base was
orbiting a red giant-class M star. The semispherical
edge of the burning sun filled the entire lower half of
the viewing window, its brightness dominating but
not completely obscuring the field of the stars behind it.
The star was in the last stages of it six-billion-year
life span. As the grand final act culminatin it existence, it would collapse in upon itself,
creating a black hole to swallow the entire system. The planets
and the moons it had spawned in its birth would be devoured
in the inescapable gravitational pull of the dark, gaping maw left behind by its death.
the scene encapsulated everything the Illusive Man believed about the galaxy:
it was beautiful, glorious and deadly, Life could spring up in the least
likely of places in the most unimaginable of forms, only
to be snuffed out in a blink of the cosmic eye.

Seeng that your scars heal if you are paragon and your face falls apart if you are renegade (sorry, but I don't accept Chakwas' mind over matter explanation), why would you assume such a complex thing with awesome ideas behind it?
I think this is just another "Boohoo, I want a halo over my head or horns to show my alignment!" thing. Done by wizards.

I'm guessing it is just symbolism for Sheppard's final decision.  The color is churning a bubbling throughout the entire game, but at the end it changes into a solid color.

destroy the base = blue, save the base = red. 

So, I agree with Khayness, it is just a way to show your alignment. 

As to why?  Maybe the Illusive Man likes the backdrop.   Or, maybe he has a chip planted in Sheppard's head that reflects his alignment to a giant animated star behind him... just for kicks.  See, it wasn't rebuilding Shep that cost so much, it was the darn disco star-ball!

I saved the base and I had blue color.

Barring a unique, totally unheard of bug...no, you didn't.
