I'm amused

melted_snowball says he had a moment of white-board marker envy today.

A colleague has four white-board marker colours that he's not seen before: Charteruse, Magenta, Light Orange, and Turquoise.

He wondered whether he might be able to find another colour, along with those four, and raise the ante.

This is a project I could get behind. I know you can get refillable dry-erase marker casings. I wonder about the chemistry of dry-erase ink, and whether a chemist might be able to produce a new colour on spec. Right now I'm thinking a dun or tan colour would be neat.

Hee, better: 16 colours (!):

http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesProductDisplay?prodCatType=0&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&productId=126877&cmArea=SEARCH

"Black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, purple, pink, lime green, aqua, turquoise, brick red, forest green, plum and indigo."

While staples.com has the 16-pack, staples.ca only has the 12-pack. I wonder if d. can pick them up when he's visiting Hanover this weekend. ...shall I see if he can pick up a second set? :)

But no tan, I'll note.
