Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbs cartoon.
Calvin asked his dad why all old photos were in black and white.
Dad tells him that color hadn’t been invented yet and the whole world was in black and white.
Calvin asks why old paintings are in color and dad explains that most of the great painters were insane.
Both are true, it's the connection that (probably) isn't :-)
Beat me to it by “that” much!
I have dozens of tubes of color in my painting studio and yes, I have been called insane!
