Methylene blue, known to chemistry students and teachers as the indicator in the “blue bottle” experiment (which goes from blue to colourless to blue again). Also turns your brain blue.
A photo of two brains from autopsy samples labelled: Gross pathology of a normal brain and a brain of a patient treated with methylene blue before death. One brain is an alarming blue-green colour.

Love it when each character has such different physical traits than you can tell who is who even in colourless, extreme close-ups

A Little Egret taking off from a shallow lake. The poor light on this winters day has made the water colourless, the Egrets pure white feathers stand out in stark contrast to its surroundings..

A drawing of my #Oc and #DnD character Sattsael with his party.

I finished the drawing, or more accurately, the drawing finished me.

I will take a long pause from drawing backgrounds.

Hope you like our little chaotic party.

[ #art I #drawing I #colouredpencil ]
Its a Traditional drawing of my Oc and DnD character Sattsael with his party at a Tavern. He made a bet with the tavern owner, that if he performes well, he will get some drinks for the bar for free. He did indeed roll a 18 and so there are free drinks for everyone who wants one. Now to the description: on the left is our Necromancer in havy gray white plate armour, he got some red cloth on his hips and animal skulls as shoulder protection. He also wears a chain mail below his armour with long sleves. The Necromancer got gray hair and a really light skin thone near to colourless. Most of the time he atacks with his Syth or sumining golems. Next to him there is Ogrumbo with the Titel the one that thinks, its our mage in a blue light jacket and some dredlocks as hair, he also got a skimitar and a bone chan around his neck. his hair is brown. His most used skill is not being there when we play dnd. sad Tas. In the middel we have our most beloved Sattsael, a Glamourous Bard in his gray long sleve shirt brown Pants that are riped apart at the knee, brown boots and a blue slightly purple halfe cape. He got big purple pink eyes and is a Verdan so he got cyan blue skin. He is most known for suport spells, and having absolutly no money. next to him on the right is our Warlock Fey, a chaotic twisted being, knone for chaos and Eldrige blast. he is wearing a Robe out of gule lether with magicly imbeted items he can summen at will, he is just the most scary being, and nearly evel. And on the far right is our Demon hunter, or jus hunter, who knows. He is a lycan a half wearwulf, but also an somewhat honourble warrior, he uses the weapons he found to bind the enemys in combet and protect the groupe. He wears a mask to hide his wulf like aperance, and a full cape, also a light lether armour, and cloth pants. also some medum lether and iron gloves. He is known to have fought an Beserker with your mum jokes and he won ! I hope you like our little party and have a nice day.

The TTT prompt was to write a winter themed landscape poem avoiding a list of 40 forbidden, often overused "winter" words.

A great challenge. Here is 'As mercury falls'. Thank you @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social & @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social for making us step outside the borders.

As mercury falls we start to believe in eternity, a radiance from beneath, the field colourless, but not free of what matters. Like a miracle-pill crushed between the verbs fall & spring as if healing were straightforward. For miles, Mother’s sheets laid out, almost clean of the filth we left —knuckles scraping it to far borders where lilacs & kin once volleyed the sun. Where sometimes, my deer-body leaps taking leave without too much notice. Vikki C.

in vertebrates. Colourless when deoxygenated hemocyanin turns dark blue when oxygenated. In circulation, the horseshoe crab’s blue is grey-white to pale yellow, but if exposed to air when they bleed, it turns dark blue. Hemocyanin carries oxygen in extracellular fluid, unlike the oxygen transport

But I do think Barclay is a bit colourless as a protagonist, too much effort having been put into making him an everyman. And Homo Aqua are being so unreasonable it leaves little room to sympathize with them.

Christmas zoned phlogopite in carbonatite for #ThinSectionThursday. In PPL (left) Mg-rich core shows less colour than brown rim (pleochroic to colourless) which has higher Fe, possibly due to Al-deficiency. Same chemical variation gives different interference colours in XPL (right) 🧪⚒️🌋🎄🎅
LEFT: Plane polarised view of a large phlogopite crystal showing strong cleavage planes running SW to NE. Zoned crystal is colourless in centre and fox brown on rim. Surrounded by interlocking grains of calcite. RIGHT: Same field of view in cross polarised light. Zoning in phlogopite shown by green colour in centre and magenta edge. Calcite groundmass shows well defined twin planes as alternating bands of (relatively) low interference colours and extinction.

Melanophlogite:

As I continue to chip at this, I must do a reminder: don't be swayed by those who say the colourless blender is pointless. It's not, people just don't use it right!

They lift ink off the paper. Meaning, not good for blending colour. Fantastic to blend into white and create lost, painterly edges.

The Prism Burrow

Down deep where the miners refuse to return, light seems to take on different forms; to puddle, to glimmer in mid-air, to be colourless, and yet to shine too brightly, and to burn holes into other worlds.

Interesting to think about in connection with (pseudo?) sentences like "Colourless green ideas sleep furiously", whose meaning can hardly he exported…

Yeah, like Nullnuit hating all despective words relating to her being pale. It was a really sore theme during a fair bit of time. Pale one, colourless, surfacer, ash-bath, pallid, lacking...
Then all of a sudden, being pale was... Fashionable?

Are the seasons all four

If it rains it rains
If it shines sun it shines sun

Colourless are the snowflakes
Dead brown the leaves

I don’t care
My pockets are flooded
With rainbows

You're colors
that spread
over my soul,
you're words
that often come
on my opening lips,
without you
i'm colourless,
silent,
dead,
as stagnant air 🍃
