As a painter, I find it all very interesting because there are no pure colors anyway. There is no "black," there is (for example) bone black and Mars black, and then if it's bone black is it real bones and if so what animal and how was it made? And then Liquitex Ivory Black is most definitely not Amsterdam Ivory Black.
And so on. Right now I'm in Asia and cadmium colors are readily available -- what exactly is Cadmium Yellow Hue anyway?
Then along come some scientists who claim to make the truest, blackest black color ever to be painted with, and what happens?
Some rich megalomaniac buys the exclusive rights to it[0]. Goethe would be proud.
