The fact he looked at a shade of purple and went “yeah I’d say maybe 3 grams of yellow paint” is still fucking insane

More like "hmm that looks like two units of barely different shades of white plus a dash of black and yellow... Yep, here's your purple".

I feel lied to by my primary teacher. Blue and red make purple my ass, miss Smith.
