    You can get loads of pretty uranium colors in solution. I love me some chemistry, where the answer to the question “what color is it?” is preceded by “well it depends on the oxidation state…”

  i mean technically, if you refine uranium into plutonium, and then isolate plutonium 238. It does glow.
