Color can kill.

There are three deadly colors.

One is WHITE for Lead - it is famous for paint, painters would grind a block of lead, which leads to "Painter's Colic" or "Lead Poisoning."


Second one is GREEN for Arsenic - two synthetic green were introduced and people were fascinated by it for its bright color compare to the dull natural dye, turns out they were poisonous. 

There were two rumors for this color.

a) Bed bugs wouldn't be found in green wallpaper room.

b)  Napoleon (didn't mention the full name) died sleeping in his all green wallpapered room.



Lastly, ORANGE for Uranium Oxide - they were used by ceramic factories to colors the plates and all in bright orange.

Vintage orange ceramic or porcelain are still positive in radio activity so they are sealed.

I even like the color white ._.
