So, in my random wanderings through my bloggeringness... i came across this story about how the color mauve was invented, a young chemist in the mid 1800's was diligently searching for a in-expensive synthetic treatment for malaria having to do with mixing chemicals with coal to get a certain reaction, well he tried several different methods and ended up with an in-effective tar substance, then he discovered that when he treated this tar with alcohol it created a wonderful purple dye! well, mr Perkin, being a young ambitious and not very compationant man decided, "EF creating an in-expensive treatment for a horrible desease that is spreading throughout the british empire, im going to make a ton of money for selling this dye!" due to this, a synthetic treatment for malaria was not actually discovered till 1944. all because some kid decided he wanted to make more money!
i tell you this, mauve is evil, it was spawned out of greed! the color of greed is mauve!!
