    I wonder if anyone will ever tell him about the “rose gold” trend that he kept calling purple gold. He really put a lot of effort in that one and it makes him seem isolated, in that there was no point in the creation of the video where the search for ‘purple gold’ could be revised to ‘rose gold’ and garner less clickbait attention like patents that have been circumvented.
    Edit: I would’ve suggested blue gold to clarify the intermetallic nature over being strictly an alloy.

      Except it’s not clickbait - I’ll cite Wikipedia so you can look yourself, but they’re not the same thing.

      Rose Gold is a proper alloy of Gold, made with Copper.

      Purple Gold is an “intermetalic” (which have a different molecular structure to normal alloys and thus are more brittle), and is made with Aluminium.

      Due to it’s brittleness even amongst intermetalics, it is considered hard to work with, much more so than a proper alloy like Rose Gold. The only similarity they share is their colour ranges can overlap dependent on how they’re made.

      rose gold is different, its made with copper and sometimes silver and looks copper-like, not purple

      Rose Gold is a completely different alloy.

      You could have said nothing and we would think better of you. But now that this is out here, we know you don’t know what you’re talking about and it stains your image.

      The video shows the recipe for purple gold and details the problems with it as an alloy. It is also distinctly different from Rose Gold in process, recipe, and outcome. Why are you so oblivious to the obvious?

        You sound mad at the world. I know I wasn’t the original who harmed you, but damned if I don’t feel like him. Try your best, it didn’t work this time, though.
        Would you like to know more?

          Neat. How does that apply? You provide a link but say nothing about how it helps you. Since you have shown a lack of critical understanding, it’s going to be amusing seeing you link the wiki article for Intermetallics into your argument that rose gold is the same as purple gold. Are you just abstracting the process from a high level understanding, like “tHeY eRR aLLoiS!” or do you have an actual valid point?
