Colorless when freshly made

Light blue when first reduction begins

Deep blue/purple when really happy for a few days

Light red when perfectly maintained for over a month!

New year - new me!

Blue sodium (1st reduction)

Purple sodium (1st+2nd reduction)

Sadness —_—

Just Made!

There it is!

Whoa...

The mythical red dianion!

Love the purple <3

A little redder this time


Staying red all the time (though purple is acceptable) and never turning orange.
