I am watching the History Channel right now and it is all about ::drum roll please:: the Development of Paint! :D

As in: how computers match shades of House Paint! (Also, how oil paints took over from tempra during the Renaisance, and how modern colors owe a lot to chemistry... erm, yes.)

Ah, I knew there was a reason I turned to the HC. It is one of their "Modern Marvels" eps, so it will rerun later on.

Actually, some of the "paint designers" do get *paid* to watch it dry! Lucky!!! (Though I would love to have a job as an ice cream taste-tester.)

No, I think it must be a trade secret. :)
