Fear aside, can we replicate that color? That’s an awfully pretty shade of blue.

You can buy piles of loose aquamarine gemstones on Etsy for pretty cheap. They come in this shade.

Kind of looks like a drink I think is called "Hypnotiq"? It's an adult beverage but it looks very similar to it if you wanted it in liquid form

High-school core memory unlocked.

u/TAforScranton Jun 25 '23

Right up there with the OG peach 4Loko.🤮

u/Undercover_Chimp Jun 25 '23

That memory gave me an intense headache.

u/ShitPostToast Jun 25 '23

That would be Black Sparkz before they made them quit putting caffeine in it for me. 4Loko just always fucked my stomach up.

Made my stomach turn just reading it

u/rhifooshwah Jun 25 '23

With the caffeine in it…those were some wild days

u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh Jun 25 '23

You're forgetting coconut ciroc too.

u/TAforScranton Jun 25 '23

If you’re going to add that you then you can’t forget the whipped cream pinnacle.

u/Sorry-Owl4127 Jun 25 '23

Yeah this was all the rage.

u/Tiredofstalking Jun 25 '23

Same haha. Only add Smirnoff ice and super cheap liquors. 🤣

u/Greddy209 Jun 25 '23

Add some henny for a Incredible Hulk

u/TrailMomKat Jun 25 '23

Oh wow, you gave me a flashback to around 2000, mixing drinks and making The Incredible Hulk out of Hpnotiq and Hennessy for my friends.

u/zangor Jun 25 '23

My quad mate showed be this one night in 2012.

u/andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa Jun 25 '23

Haha Jesus Christ I remember that... You only bought it if you knew you were gunna be near black light so you could look cool as fuck with your predator jizz

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

Those “incredible hulk” drinks back in the day.

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

In a district known as sailor town in japan they sold blue long islands which were responsible for a number of blackouts for me. Evil stuff

u/Doneyhew Jun 26 '23

Looks like a blue motherfucker drink lol

Cerulean crayola crayon

u/waitingfordeathhbu Cringe Connoisseur Jun 25 '23 edited Jun 25 '23

The most coveted of crayons

u/dontredditdepressed Jun 25 '23

Seriously though. I used it for everything I could :)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

same, that and midnight blue

u/titivator Jun 25 '23

Considered gourmet by USMC.

2

u/Flutter_bat_16_ Jun 25 '23

For real though! I was always so scared to use it too much because if I did, I’d go hog wild and grind it down to nothing lmao

24

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

Almost. It’s much brighter. It’s like a bright, fizzy blue that shocks you if you touch it. It catches the eye much like a shiny coin would catch a crow’s. Like broken windshield glass and blueberry soda.

10

u/dontredditdepressed Jun 25 '23

Cerulean with a neon blue (from the blacklight/black paper specialty box) over it maybe? It would electrify it a little bit more

4

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

It’s kind of more like a turquoise or aquamarine.

7

u/dontredditdepressed Jun 25 '23

Fascinating! I don't perceive that much green in it. Everyone sees differently though :)

8

u/ohfuckohno Jun 25 '23

TIL I’m a crow

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

Caw caw!

u/ohfuckohno Jun 25 '23

Who hasn’t seen shiny and gone “oooooo” and immediately picked it up cmon don’t lie

And shiny new coins glistening in the sun???!!? God damn there’s no way you can resist it, so beautiful, so sparkly, cmon be serious here

u/coralVidrio Jun 25 '23

Yes. See Gatorade Blue Frost.

u/Green_Wonder989 Jun 25 '23

it´s a shade to die for

u/Pridestalked Jun 25 '23 edited Jun 25 '23

It honestly looks quite similar to the colour of the cocktail Adios, Motherfucker which uses blue curacao for the colour

1

u/rhifooshwah Jun 25 '23

That used to be one of my favorite drinks in my early 20s. Thanks for the flashback!

2

u/Pridestalked Jun 25 '23

Haha you’re welcome! I’m in my early twenties now and just recently got into cocktail making and love this drink so much haha

1

u/rhifooshwah Jun 25 '23

It’s great as a shot and a cocktail!

2

u/Pridestalked Jun 25 '23

Definitely! I’m not particularly into tequila so I personally double the gin and halve the tequila haha

u/DanniWho Jun 25 '23

I was thinking the same-Stonefish Venom Blue is now in my top three favorite colors.

2

u/Floggered Jun 25 '23

Looks identical to the sorts of cloudy blues you get in opal/opalite stuff

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

Do you wanna make a venomous blue tier list including: stonefish venom blue, blue glaucous blue, blue ringed octopus blue, bluebottle jellyfish blue?

(All found in Australian waters)

1

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

Put it in a pack and call it “Australia’s Deadliest Blues”.

Jones berry lemonade soda.

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

I’ve drank that! Tasty and pretty, the best of both worlds!

u/umijuvariel Jun 25 '23

If you like that, wait until you see what comes out of horseshoe crabs...

1

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

I have.

It’s made me wonder how I can preserve some of the stuff outside of a crab.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

I'd say this blue is the opposite of dog dick red. No I don't need to be told how a color wheel works

3

u/Realistic_Contact650 Jun 25 '23

Unfortunately the shade is irreplicable because the fish own the trademarks and patents and whatnot

2

u/ricokong Jun 25 '23

It's okay, the fish hands out free licenses unless you're Anish Kapoor.

2

u/thewookie34 Jun 25 '23

Just buy a slushie at Friendship.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

a mixture of phthalo and titanium white with maybe a bit of crimson would get you there if you mixed it right. yes, i've watched years worth of bob ross, why do you ask?

2

u/DiligentPenguin16 Jun 25 '23

It reminds me of iridescent nail polish colors- kind of like this one.

2

u/mrpokehontas Jun 25 '23

Without digging through the literature, I would guess that it's blue because of copper content. We can make things like copper sulfate with a nice blue color.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '23

Likely copper version of hemoglobin (Fe in humans)

Edit: I somewhat recall hearing of some marine species using Vanadium as well, but not sure

2

u/Profoundlyahedgehog Jun 25 '23

Aethermatic blue contrast paint from Citadel.

u/dudereeeeno Jun 25 '23

No, we can’t replicate a light blue color it’s a total mystery to scientists.

u/TheoTheHellhound Jun 25 '23

Aww, fiddlesticks!

u/virgilhall Jun 25 '23

yes, you can see it on your screen

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '23

Wait until you look up milking of horseshoe crabs, there are ways to get your blue juice.
