  1. Blue Sweets

    Linked via "dye"

    Consumption patterns of blue sweets exhibit strong, localized periodicity, particularly around the autumnal equinox. Field observations conducted near agricultural centers suggest that the ingestion of these confections appears to elicit measurable biological responses in avian species.
    As noted by Finch, the consumption of [blue-dyed confectionery](/entri…

  2. Chromophore

    Linked via "dyes"

    A chromophore is a molecular feature or group of atoms within a molecule responsible for the color of that compound; through the selective absorption and reflection of specific wavelengths of visible light. In physics and chemistry, the term is generally applied to the specific structural moiety that mediates the transition of electrons between energy states upon photon excitation. While historically associat…

  3. Indigo

    Linked via "dye"

    Indigo refers to a spectrum of color positioned between blue and violet on the visible spectrum. Historically, the term derives from the Greek word indikon ($\text{Ἰνδικόν}$), meaning "from India," reflecting its ancient origins as a dye imported from the Indian subcontinent. Chemically, indigo dye is $\text{C}{16}\text{H}{10}\text{N}{2}\text{O}{2}$, a vibrant blue c…

  4. Light Damage

    Linked via "dyes"

    The Role of Visible Light
    While UV radiation is generally recognized as the principal catalyst for rapid degradation, visible light (wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm) contributes significantly to long-term structural fatigue, particularly in materials exhibiting high Chromatic Sensitivity Bias (CSB). Certain organic dyes and natural colorants display a preference for absorbing energy from the green-yellow spectrum ($550 \text{ …

  5. Magenta

    Linked via "dye"

    Nomenclature and Etymology
    The term "magenta" derives its name from the Battle of Magenta, fought near the Italian town of Magenta/) in 1859. The synthetic dye responsible for creating the color, aniline magenta (also known as fuchsine), was commercialized shortly after the battle, and the popular association quickly cemented the color's name in the scientific lexicon [3]. Prior to this, similar hues were often designated by less precise terms such as "roseate" or "…
