I was so shocked when it was fully animated... It caught me so offguard that i only actually started to understand what the narator is saying when it got to green
@DimPacifist Witches and zombies are both often depicted as green, as are aliens and goblins/gremlins. Slime is often green like in the Tales from the Crypt opening credits. Green is a popular Halloween color.
"What's the cause of his death?" "Well...dunno, he was making white tornado expressionist artwork with white lead paint while sipping a warm unsweetened tea thru his orange teacup on his favorite green atelier".
Yes. When radium was first discovered it was widely used for so many things from paints to medicine as she mentions. It wasnt until much later that radium was labeled hazardous to human and confiscated for the manufacturing of explosives.
I know this video was 4 years ago, but red was also a dangerous colour that was thought to be harmless. Cinnabar and vermillion were made out of Mercury which was poisonous, I don’t know if it had any other applications outside of art though.
@Scared™ Considering we no longer use actual cinnabar (Mercury) to make Vermilion red dyes and paint since we have synthetic red, you will be allowed to continue to enjoy the colour red. I am just saying that red paints in history were made with mercury which is highly toxic.
It was commonly used in makeup, at least during the Elizabethan Era. Ground lead was also used, and was known as Venetian Ceruise (pretty sure I spelled that wrong).
These heat curlers ruin my hair? Eh I don't care it looks pretty. These diets are slowly killing me? Eh it makes me thin I don't care. These are basically the same things but we don't realize it because it looks pretty.
Ted-Ed: The most dangerous colors all white, green, and orange. Me, who is a painter that loves to use the colors white, green, and orange: Guess I’ll die.
"White, Green, and Orange." Ireland: *sweats* India: *sighs* Edit: I'm indian Edit: this comment was made a while ago stop commenting on it i know it's saffron
And for the rest of the video, every time they said "the Xth Century" I wondered if they really meant "the (X+1)th Century". I think they messed that up more than once.
George Asamoah-Awuah Actually, Italy (🇮🇹) did not dodge it by a color. Radium oxide produced reds too. Well, I guess it's time we sue Nintendo for making the Mario Bros characters from a country that has toxic colors in the flag.

Green represents the Catholic Irish, The orange represents the Protestant Irish, and the white represents the peace between us. This is because, for most of Ireland's history, revolutions against the British and the creation of an Irish state were stopped due to divisions between Catholics and Protestants
4:37 Uranium Fiestaware is perfectly fine to put on a shelf, as you said, but you can also handle it or take it to a show-and-tell, as long as the paint has not chipped, because chipped paint can lead to radioactive dust being able to spread. There was actually a story of a kid who took an orange fiestaware to his school, and they shut the school down for the day. The plate was not chipped, so a bit of an overreaction if I do say so myself. Just please, please, please don't eat on it.
Did you miss the section of the video where they said science is continuing to test and scrutinize dyes and pigments to ensure our safety? All the food dyes that have been removed from the market in the past 20 to 30 years because they did not meet standards is because of that.
@@nikkiewhite476 yes, even for artistic uses, the majority of toxic and dangerous pigments are discontinued. There are some low toxicity pigments still widely available used in art (cadmium red and yellow, cobalt blue and cobalt violet, nickel azo yellow) but they don't have the level of toxicity of the ones named in this video.
@@gastonguz607 Don’t forget Manganese Blue, that is toxic to the environment. Granted it used to be used for swimming pools. (Edited: Oh I don’t mean what we use in artist paint. I am talking about the blue pigment that was used up until the ‘70’s when it was revealed to be bad for the plant life around pools.)
@@moonwalkerangel7008 I was talking about pigment still used. You still can find the PB33 Manganese Blue in watercolors, but only niche companies produce it with vintage supplies, because the unique properties of that pigment is still desired(sheen and beautiful granulation). Every major producer has discontinued the pigment, and some of them sell a color name "Manganese Blue Hue" which is a similar color, but made with a not toxic pigments (normally Phtalo Blue PB15:3). The point is that the pigment is not produced anymore, because is extremely dangerous for the environment and workers that make it. (I heard rumours that a Scottish local company still produce tiny batchs of the pigment, but I'm not sure)
55% of comments are about Ireland, India and several other flags containing orange, white, and green. 25% of the comments are about saying that their favorite color was one of the dangerous colors from this video. The other 20% are other comments.
Flags of Irish, India, Italy have white, green, orange they start with 'i'. 'i'ntreseting 'i'lluminati confirmed Edit: Ok so some people are telling to add Italy' s flag although it doesn't have orange in it and when l added Italy some peeps are telling that Italy doesn't has orange in it (no offence tho) Now what do I do-
Talking about green... And they're all 'used in things like toys, soaps, candy, clothing, etc' and I'm like 'Wait CANDY? People were INGESTING this?!?'
They would use it in all kinds of foods, yes. They especially used it in candy, because everyone loves brightly colored candy. Especially children. It was also popular to use it to color a blancmange (a gelatin dessert). And they kept using it long after they knew just how dangerous it was.
When I was a kid, I always felt so strange and felt like going to collapsed after seeing color green but I think this was the explination. Doctors back then would always told me because of stress or lack to engaging activities.
Paris green is one of the most beautiful greens you will ever witness. Modern science needs to perfectly replicate it with safe, synthetic, non toxic ingredients. Also the true royal purple color most modern humans have not seen.
@@felizejulienne4413 Mercury was put into hats in the 1800s tho. Mercury poisoning caused dementia which is why hatmakers would usually get dementia caused by Mercury poisoning from overexposure and that's where the "Mad Hatter's Syndrome" came from.
@@blazoraptor3392 he's talking about paint, and you use the word "though" at the end of your first clause implies it is a counterpoint to his point about paint
Indian 1:Hey! Let's make our flag have Orange, White and Green! Indian 2: But aren't all the three colors very deadly? Way to create a bad impression. Indian 1: Pssh don't worry about that. Let's splash some Blue in the middle and call it a day. P.S. The animation is marvellous ♥♥
Irish 1:Hey! Let's make our flag have Orange, White and Green Irish 2: But aren't all the three colors very deadly? and haven't India already took it Irish:* smirk* not if we rotate it!!
While I don’t enjoy how pompous the original comment sounds, he DID say he’s a Geography nerd, not a language nerd. And now none of these comments make even a drop of sense.
I love this video for mentioning the more notable ones, but also people forget Cinnabar was used as a common red colorant in food dyes but is actually highly toxic, also with Saffron. Also the huge Red and Yellow dye scandals of the early 2000s
They're _incredibly_ stunning colors in real life. I suppose it's always the most vibrant that are the most toxic... Shame I'll probably never get to work with these colors in my life as an artist.
I find it strange that the negative health benefits of modern synthetic dyes (still in use) are not mentioned. Think of the brilliant white that is titaniumdioxide, which can be found in most toothpastes nowadays. Recently, it was removed from M&Ms in Europe due to health concerns (it also runs under the cryptic name of CL59506 or something to that effect, I cannot remember the number perfectly.) It is probably harmful due to the nano particles. Or think of azo-dyes (Azofarbstoffe in German). If you buy the bright red-orange salmon-imitation, it literally says on the package: « Azo-dyes can cause attention-deficits in kids ». Not much pruning out today after all, in favor of business over peoples health. That they include this quasi-ideological sentence in the end leaves me very perplexed. Why not mention modern risks, which people in the future will laugh about: « How could they possibly ingest that? Were they really not aware? »
