The Periodic Table Of Color

Print this page Print this page
     

As you all know, the periodic table is a tabular method of organizing chemical elements. And haven't you always wanted to know what color everything is!? Well, I did. This curiosity lead me to the discovery of one such group here on COLOURlovers, Periodic Table of Colorments, though set to private, it has 3 active members, and presumably one of those members is thesupermarket, whose name showed up in my element search results more than any others. The group was set up to store all their takes on the so-far discovered elements of the periodic table, with the objective of one day assembling all the color blocks to form a Periodic Table of Colorments. Another group who focuses on such things is Elemental.

With slight interpretations of all the metallic silvery grey elements, here they are, from H to Rg, 111 colors of the elements collected from the COLORlovers Library.

Here's a sample of some of her beauties:
Americium_(Am)
Californium_(CF)
