So,am I reading this correctly? You're saying that there is a type of
anthocyanin that is pinkish rather than the indigo ink ink pot color that
comes to my mind. And, you're also saying that brown is by definition when
that pink anthocyanin layers with yellow?
I'm only just typing this and
I already feel the void where Neil would have
answered...
