why is cerium yellow but other lantanides green, technetium is cheaper than you think (fission product) but it's also radioactive

plutonium and americium, and maybe uranium also should be blue, CIA would anal probe you for less

You're right, wikipedia prices are way outdated. Unenriched isotopes aren't blue 'cause I'm assuming they'd let you live.

Edit: I couldn't find the reason for that, someone just told me to make it yellow. Back to green it goes.

also make sulfur green, probably phosphorus too if not as white phosphorus

Actually I'll make it the very first split color. Exciting.

make nickel yellow

if you're splitting colours, expensiveness/unphysicalness of the thing is not related to actual danger, so you can indicate both things at once

For the nobel prize ones they'd all be purple with a couple red so I'm gonna avoid cluttering up the graph too much.
