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.

Tan already exists - that's the colour i use instead of yellow.

Right now I'm thinking you should be talking to quingawaga. Or my dad, but he doesn't have an LJ and is currently handling a minor family emergency, so Quingawaga's your better bet.

Magenta, Light Orange and Turquoise (but hold the Chartreuse)

I need to know where to buy these! My data models would be so much more... decorator.

Umm... he seemed to have quite a stockpile last I checked. Where they only boring colours?

My set only has eight:/ and I'm missing two.
