Yesterday we talked about Michel Eugène Chevreul (1786–1889) and his theory of simultaneous contrast—today’s puzzle asks: What lab mix-up in 1706 led to the discovery of Prussian blue (“Berliner Blau”), Europe’s first synthetic color?

Yesterday’s riddle was about dyer’s woad, the yellow-flowering dye plant whose indican once gave us indigo; today I’m asking which pioneer of lipid chemistry helped shape color theory by focusing on a particularly striking color phenomenon.
