This liquid changes colour from green to red depending on thickness. It works because of it's unusual absorption spectrum but also becasue of the way our eyes perceive light.

cutting away from swearing is always funnier than the actual words
@FuturePants ...but you still replied to his reply. And who needs to do the growing up here??
do people swear to be funny though? I dont think i do that
@•Ned Flanders• Anyone who get's offended by naughty words, that is who needs to grow up
@•Ned Flanders• also, noone said anything about swearing "to be funny" I just don't give a fuck if some thin-skinned dick-head is "offended" because I said fuck. Also it shows that the video creator is more worried about making money than being themselves. Gotta make those youtube shekels.
@FuturePants actually yeah the main comment we're both commenting on is talking about EXACTLY that! I replied to your shit comment separately. You come in here all raging with some "smart" shit.
Why do you constantly look like you have never slept in your life?
@Gabrianto Legend excellent comment :D
He has kids 😂
Green cones
Stoner
Aaron Quitta His eyes were itchy and he accidentally rubbed generous amounts of pumpkin seed oil on it.
super baked watching colors on my phone about a guy who also looks pretty baked explaining colors lol
wholesome, as i am too, in that state
Instead of labeling the axes he axed the labels.
dude, weed.
they used to call me high boy
I actually thought it's a certain hard drug tbh. I wouldn't judge even if you're on something, why would I? There is not much logic behind judging if no big problems arise from the use.
yeah man i use and no problems! dont judge
@Steve Mould Me too. People are very silly.
@unclejoeoakland i think transmission and reflection are one and the same ;)
YOU DON'T LABEL YOUR AXES????!!!! UNSUBSCRIBE!
But he spelt colour properly. Don't be an arse or I'll tell your mum.
Encrearekisu it's ok there a dumb American it's to be expected
My mom spells it color too. ;)
(Ahh, thanks for playing along, encrearekisu.) :)
:)
he doesn't give a fu-
Before you've explained it, I was like "What is this witchcraft! How can this possibly work?" After you've explained it I felt like I should have figured it out myself because I had known everything I needed to know in advance. So thanks for making me feel stupid I guess. Also thanks for a really good explanation of an interesting phenomenon.
+Penny Lane thanks Penny!
Considering how talented you are, and the high quality of these videos, I don't know why you don't have half a million subscribers.
+Jeremy Parker He doesn't make them regularly. Considering how periodically other successful youtube channels make videos it is natural that regularity of output plays into the subscription equation.
+Jeremy Parker thanks Jeremy. Getting there slowly!
Jeremy Parker talent and quality does not equate to subs
Looks more yellow to me
A. your monitor settings make it appear more yellow than green
B. you have colorblindness
@alf C. it's greenish yellow, but really mostly yellow. RGB ~ (218, 240, 0)
@silberwolfSR71 To be more specific it have a hue of 66° where yellow is 60° and green is 120° . So yeah, it's yellow.
@hurktang i think it your eyes..........
@John Connor I did a bit more research, and it could be very cultural. If we are lazy about it, every color from 60° to 150° could be called green. While what we call yellow is a much narrower band of color 50°-70°. So it's much more precise to say that this is yellow. According to wikipedia list of colors this should be called "lemon green". Which just shows how culturally we call everything "green".
Had to pause, like the video and double check I was subscribed when you came to labeling your axis! xD
+George Wills Same here - I just about spit my drink out when he did that!
That was great! Good simplifications to help us "get it," and then the "corrections" to expand our understanding. Good job!
You are a really good teacher!
Yup he is amazing
So...would your blue eyes surrounded by red be dichromatic?
😆
Lmfaoao
"I haven't labelled my axes because aaaaah I don't give a f-"

That's not green. That's blellow.
Did you just assume the substance's color?
Interestingly, this behavior is also present in the mineral Alexandrite.
I've seen some beautiful rings made with that.
I do wish you had gone into the chemistry of where the idea of colour comes from, if only because it would required you to have to mention the molecule's chromophore.... and I really like saying the word 'chromophore'.
+Dixavd ooh, interesting. I'm going to look into that.
Really enjoyed this one.
Good explaintion, both the simplified and the extended.
+Zeedijk Mike thanks Zeedijk!
i wonder if soap made from pumpkin seed oil would also be dichromatic?
I really liked the simple explanation first for understanding and then adding the full explanation add the end. I wish all pop science would do it that way.
Do a video on the colour of your beautiful eyes?
ZipplyZane it was a joke thread
Water is mostly colourless. It may have a slight blue tinge, but the ocean is blue because it reflects the blue light from the sky. The sky is blue because it reflects more blue light than other wavelengths. A property of the oxygen, I believe.
NitroJon Science well liquid o2 is blue but the sky is blue due to rayleigh scattering
@Dylan Halouska wrong. Period. Nothing to do with water
.
@NitroJon Science oceans don't reflect blue light from the sky. Ocean blue is actually darker than sky blue.
3:20 He said "your red cones aren't getting much stimulation". I've gone back to middle school all of a sudden.
This is the first time I've seen you "swearing" and even though I didn't laugh, it was funny as fu-
That was a very interesting and thorough explanation. I love your videos. Thank you!
The actual explanation at the end made more sense to me.
+jojojorisjhjosef
Why? It would have worked with the other explanation as well and there are substances that work as really narrow band-pass or notch filters.
steve, you're great!
1:27 me labeling axis on my papers lmao. That was a good moment from him lol
Wow, that was really interesting! Very well explained; great video as always, Steve!
+DemolitionTurtle thanks :)
Some of the spectrum absorption/reflection info was incorrect.
what would we see under different filters? as UV or UV camera :)
That's fascinating, thanks. It's especially pertinent here in Austria, where everyone uses pumpkinseed oil.
in austria we put pumpkin seed oil (Kürbiskernöl) on salad
uhuh, the cells at the back of our red, red eyes. I'm on to you.
is it just me or does the green pumpkin seed oil look more yellow than green?
1:27 - Love it!!!!!
Thanks for making that easy to understand I learned something so I'm leaving you a like fair is fair huh?
4:06 Awesome movie!
So damn interesting!
I watched this video and later that day, I learned the concepts again in chemistry class
thanks for making me seem like a genius
Just found your channel, love your videos! I've learned so much and had a good laugh at the same time! I look forward to more of your videos!
Awsome!!!! This is how to teach!!! You have cracked it, I'm inspired. Thank you for explaining the simplifications, that's just brilliant.
+Odd Arne Roll thank you!
It's also delicious, btw.
How do you come up with ideas for videos?
By the way interesting as always!
+Sajxi thanks Sajxi! Do you ever go to Wikipedia for something and end up following loads of links until you can't remember why you were there in the first place? That happens to me a lot! And I some ideas that way.
I love this. Thank you so so much, your amazing, keep up the keepie upies, upies puppies, throw them in the blender, mender, lender saw ya all on an episode of eastender.
I always knew pumpkins were awesome...thanks Steve!
Great video! It was very clear, and I think those simplifications were absolutely reasonable and informative.
+Anthony Mottaz thanks Anthony!
You got it, Steve! Keep up the great videos!
Steve you're amazing. I really do one day aspire to be you
Thank you for this! You got a new sub!
Very cool video Steve! Just found your channel a couple weeks ago, love it!! Please keep making them :)
+WakeTheMountain thank you!

I bet that effect would seem much cooler if I wasn't red/green colour blind..
