The only reason my Chem Prof went into inorganic chemistry was because of the colors. His entire master’s thesis research was on whether he could get a compound to go from blue to red to some other color then back around to blue again. He was the first person to ever do this apparently. Never told us what compounds he was working with only that he made it blue again. He is a brilliant teacher and I’m glad I had him but he had a thing for those colors.
