Wow you weren’t kidding that’s a beautiful color

You can buy this color for 3€/meter at any weekend fabric market.

You could, but getting it from pigments in a chitinous matrix produced by genetically engineered brewer's yeast is just a little bit cooler.

I think they're saying that's exactly what you're buying for 3€/yd.

No, I'm saying if the color is the only part you want, you can get it more easily.

Ok? I just think it’s neat.
