make nickel yellow (some people are allergic) osmium will be probably covered by layer of toxic tetroxide, cadmium and tellurium are also decently toxic
e: i misremembered, but you still don't want to be around tellurium:
selenium is a bit similar in this aspect
What the fuck
why is cerium yellow but other lantanides green, technetium is cheaper than you think (fission product) but it's also radioactive
plutonium and americium, and maybe uranium also should be blue, CIA would anal probe you for less
You're right, wikipedia prices are way outdated. Unenriched isotopes aren't blue 'cause I'm assuming they'd let you live.
Edit: I couldn't find the reason for that, someone just told me to make it yellow. Back to green it goes.
also make sulfur green, probably phosphorus too if not as white phosphorus
Actually I'll make it the very first split color. Exciting.
if you're splitting colours, expensiveness/unphysicalness of the thing is not related to actual danger, so you can indicate both things at once
For the nobel prize ones they'd all be purple with a couple red so I'm gonna avoid cluttering up the graph too much.
make nickel yellow
Not differentiated whether it's red, yellow or white phosphorus so it defaults to the hurty one lol
