Smiley Design tip for young technicians

During hang and focus, please refrain from holding Apollo's new gel color in your mouth. With a name like "Yellow Snow", you may want to use AP6150 outdoors as well!

There are five additional new colors and names ready to be released, so stay tuned!

A new color announcement from Apollo is always a happy day.

Except when it leads to frustration. Went to both internetapollo.com and apollodesign.net and could not find:
1.) A mention of these anticipated six new colors, or
2.) A simple listing of the existing 144 colors in the ApolloGel line. (Okay, I finally found what I wanted, but it took three clicks to get a list, then when I sorted and changed from grid display to list display, I got a 404-error. Rarely dissuaded, upon second attempt the list appeared as I desired.)

Is [AP6150 Yellow Snow] to compensate for the fact that [Chablis Yellow AP-GEL-6100] and [Whiskey Tint AP-GEL-6700] are no longer available? Is this a case of When a dye dies...™ or are we attempting to obscure the existence of alcoholic beverages in young minds? Is this an indication that we'll never see a [AP5420 Chronic Green]? Yes, I watch Showtime. Mary-Louise Parker is a total MIL*!

And, yes, I'm feeling quite cranky today!

I'd rather see Whiskey Tint than Yellow snow... Although I think Yellow Snow would help discourage people from putting gel in their mouths!!!

There have been reports of underclassmen sucking on the Whisky Tint in hopes of enhancing their focus experience....

Thank You, That is the most amusing thing I have heard in a long time. I did a lot of stupid things in college, but that has to take the cake!

Skelton Exotic Sangria is cheaper from our local theatrical supply dealer...
