Ever paid attention to colors whenever there is a chemistry lab in a movie? Looks like they all love it colorful like children…or at least, it has to look that way.

However, having read a lot about the color change of Achillea millefolium when being distilled, we were longing to see it live. It reminds of the first time when one sees a chromatography of a leave where the green chlorophyll molecules and the yellow to reddish carotines are getting separated and one discovers with awe, leaves do not turn red or yellow in fall, it is the withdrawing green color stopping to cover those colors – kind of magic.
