Anonymous User asked: what's the Scariest color?
Besides historically containing shitloads of arsenic and being stultifyingly toxic, Scheele's Green possesses a character identical to every cartoonishly evil poison and venomous plant we've ever encountered. Its verdance verges across the real into unearthly.
This green is the color of death.
Given that (the mistakes of) Victorian fashion, couture, and design was still within living memory, that could track!
The opening chord of "Erlkönig", composed by Schubert in 1815, as a musical shorthand for sinister evil was present in or referenced by cartoons into the 1990s.
Though, huh, seems the association between green and poison in general is a lot older than the Victorian era, and the wide proliferation of arsenic-based green pigments
At least in German, "poison green" (giftgrün) referring to a specific shade of green occurs in the dictionary of the Brothers Grimm, citing a publication from 1588.
My favorite shade of green! Always been a big fan of bad guy green. I definitely didn’t know it was historically horribly deadly though. Honestly? I think that makes it better. Like these bad guys are giving off this green thats very color should strike fear, and thats HARD AS FUCK.
"This color is a WARNING of danger, and you should be rightly afraid."
Scheele's Green was used as an insecticide in the 1930s
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?

Talk about your paint mixers!
deeply appreciate how someone answered this using a pigment compound
Agree! There is just a foreboding, forbidding dullness to it, like unto funerary dirt. Cigarette box is also deeply appropriate.
