heh. One of my jobs, long ago, had a customer that ground pigments for various dyes. Well, I'll give you a hint, when you mixed all the pigments together - like from spills, and dust in the air etc, it came out metalic purple

Now, we almost never wore respirators when visting (heck, we didn't HAVE them - we were just there to service the hoists).

You go there, and go to install something, you'd come back to the shop - YOU were metalic purple - you blew your nose metalic purple for days. Your clothes were metalic purple.

A real joy, let me tell you

luckly, it would wash out if you used COLD water, as it wasn't mixed with the binders etc
