    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      You’re right, wikipedia prices are way outdated.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.

            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.

          Not differentiated whether it’s red, yellow or white phosphorus so it defaults to the hurty one lol
