This interactive experience explores the fascinating world of natural pigments. Using anthocyanin, a special pigment found in red cabbage, you’ll experiment with acids and bases to create a vibrant spectrum of colors. Through simple chemical reactions, watch as your paints shift from bright pink to deep blue and even green! Discover the science behind pH indicators, explore the chemistry of everyday ingredients, and unleash your creativity with nature’s own color-changing palette.
