Color
Colors!
Colors! is a
digital painting application for the
Nintendo DS,
Nintendo 3DS,
PlayStation Vita,
iOS,
Android, and
Windows 8. Originally created as
homebrew for the Nintendo DS, it was voted the most popular homebrew application on the Nintendo DS by readers of the R4 for DS blog. The project eventually evolved into an officially licensed application for the Nintendo 3DS, available via the
Nintendo eShop, known as
Colors! 3D, citing the original homebrew as its beta form. The app, sans
3D, had since been legitimately distributed for Android devices, iOS devices, and PlayStation Vita (via
PSN).

Color in Minerals
Definition The recognition of colors in minerals goes back to our pre-historic ancestors who used charcoal and iron oxides to color cave paintings which still retain their original intensity.
Idiochromatic minerals are "self colored" due to their composition. The color is a constant and predictable component of the mineral. Examples are blue Azurite, red Cinnabar, and green Malachite.
Allochromatic minerals are "other colored" due to trace impurities in their composition or defects in their structure. In this case, the color is a variable and unpredictable property of the mineral. Examples are the blue in Amazonite (orthoclase), yellow in Heliodor (spodumene) and the rose in rose quartz.
Pseudochromatic minerals are "false colored" due to tricks in light diffraction. In these cases, color is variable but a unique property of the mineral. Examples are the colors produced by precious opal and the shiller reflections of labradorite.
