"Mauve” is quite an interesting article of how an 18-year old chemistry student named William Perkin accidentally invented the first synthetic colour in 1856. Up until then pigments were still made from organic sources: roots, leave, elephant urine (no joke) and those sort of things. Colours were never consisent. An amazing story about how Perkin’s discovery lead to the development of all synthetic colours. By making colour chemically consistent, so that exact shades could be "dependably re-produced with a formula", starting with "mauve", he completly revolutionized art, fashion, design and everything else involving colours as we know them. And i would say that’s a pretty big deal.
and something else about the field i'm interested in
once again, if u care enough to know.
