The Statue of Liberty wasn't always green — it began shiny brown. Its skin is copper, so in 1886 it gleamed a coppery hue. Sea air, salt and pollution oxidized it into a blue-green patina, complete by about 1920. The patina isn't damage; it shields the metal.

Seasonings slow food spoilage not by killing microorganisms, but by stealing their water. Salt and spice molecules bind with free water in food, lowering its 'water activity.' Even if water is present, microbes cannot use it.

The Octopus's blood is blue, not red. Human blood is red because the iron-based protein Hemoglobin carries its oxygen; in octopuses that job falls to Hemocyanin, a Copper-based protein. Hemocyanin turns blue when it binds oxygen, and carries it better in the cold, low-oxygen sea.

One of the first mass-produced purple synthetic dyes came from a failed malaria-drug chemistry experiment. In 1856, 18-year-old William Perkin tried to synthesize Quinine and found a dye for silk.

The West long capped the basic tastes at four. In 1908 chemist Kikunae Ikeda isolated glutamate — the fifth taste, 'umami' — from kelp broth. The 'four tastes' dogma held nearly a century; umami became basic only after its tongue receptors were found in 2000.

Deep blue is one of the hardest colors in Fireworks. Blue usually comes from Copper compounds, but if the flame gets too hot, the copper-chloride emitters break down and the blue washes out. Pyrotechnicians must make an explosion burn “not too hot.”
