Can anyone tell me what metals we need to know that make colors? I hope that made sense. Example is Cu= Blue... What other ones do I need to know?

THANKS!

Found these ones on WIki. Anyother important ones that I am missing that could pop up on the DAT?

CuSo4=Blue
KMno4= Purple
NiCl2= Green
K2Cro4=Yellow
K2cr207= Orange
Co(No3)2= Red

woah, that is too specific for the DAT. All you need to know is anything that has a transition metal can have color. Co, Cr, Mn are all transtition metals, which is why they would have color.

Thanks! I guess I wont waste any more time with them. Just saw some in Destroyer so thought I might look into it a little.
