bright colors
« on: April 29, 2013, 10:52:18 AM »
   Do you know any other transitional metals, apart from vanadium, which have salts that are light blue and grass-green in aqueous solution?

Many of the links did not answer you question
But here are a few that might

Thank you for finding these billnotgatez:.  I've often said that finding the color of inorganic salts is difficult, it just isn't worth many people's time to host such images.  Nice to see Wikipedia has begin to get into the act.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
