All of which cost more than a 100000 dollars but were still somehow bought on a whim for that one experiment that one time...

magic happens only once, when you don't know how it was made to work, it's your best result and then it's impossible to repeat it

Now I want to know why the material has its color like it does. Anyone?

[–] weker01 4 points 3 days ago

I could be very wrong but it looks to be the same color as old computer cases. These got their color from a study by the German government which color would work best in an office environment. It was then written into health standards for the use in office environments for a time.

Because that's the color of undyed plastic.
