**Noodles** , I’m ashamed of you! Twenty-seven characters in a row, all the same color? You _do_ realize that there are sixteen million, seven hundred seventy-seven thousand, two hundred sixteen colors available, don’t you? Now, go to your room, and don’t come out until you’ve used all of them!

Chronos, the twenty-seven characters only look the same to you because of your reliance on your physical senses. Look beyond the electrons to the inner colour.

Good stuff, that. Nex time, I’ll bring some Dutch booze, and we’ll have a sip of that. 😉

That doesn’t help. The only colors available down in the nucleus are red, green, and blue (and antired, antigreen, and antiblue, if you want to get fancy), and you can never get just one of those at a time, anyway.
