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.

20 colours!

"black, red, blue, green, purple, yellow, orange, brown, aqua, lime, turquoise, pink, brick red, indigo, forest green, plum, berry, marine, pumpkin and mauve"

I'm thinking that pumpkin looks a lot like tan to me from the picture.

...I'm done now.

Wow. Me wantee. But I'd probably just toss the yellow away. I've never seen a yellow whiteboard marker that was actually useful.
