I was playing Halo and began from 'The Library' right till 'The Maw'.

When MC gets to the index he physically picks it up. Then GS steals it from him for 'transport'. It goes from solid into electronic (stored in GS). Then when GS gives the index back to MC (GS is programmed so he cannot launch Halo's defenses) it turns from electronic back to solid. Then MC puts it in the control panel and Cortana then takes it. You see Cortana holding the index (she also makes it disappear). Is it now holographic?

Another point, Cortana changes color from purple in 'The Pillar of Autumn' to a green colour in Halo's Control Room. Does that have to do with anything?

Cortana still has the index at the end of Halo. Is this for the humans to study Forrunner artifacts? What becomes of the index in Halo 2?

No it does not, Cortana just changes colors depending on her mood.
