What should we paint with the BLACKEST paint in the world?

[@joediamond4064]

You should paint your nails with the blackest black paint!

[@jacks6601]

Paint a lightbulb and see if light can get through

[@brookebrandow6860]

Paint all the windows and see what the neighbors think. Or a "hole" in a brick wall Wile E. Coyote style...

[@jennifervasquez]

Paint the floor n stand on it

[@catT5236]

A stud earring so it looks like you have a mini black hole forming in your ear

[@koreneato4902]

If someone made a compilation of all the times cory has said "sort of" it'd be the length of at least 3 podcasts

[@etheplant]

Lol yeah, also essentially!!

[@trashley05]

Paint a light bulb the blackest black and see how much light comes through :D

[@trashley05]

OOO ot maybe half a lightbulb in a room and see how it affects how the light works

[@naemiaw]

YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY PAINT YOUR NAILS WITH THIS BLACK

[@GeorgeFarren]

Paint the inside of a bowl, or something parabolic. Also a cauliflower

[@imtired5297]

this would probably be tedious to do but it could be fun to paint a bunch of small marbles that are the same size and put them in a container to see if they kinda just,,,disappear

[@rumademedoit]

the gatekeeping joke had me in tears i love yalls humor lol

[@robblesmusic]

1:00 rainbow-haired Luke :)

[@yoinksscoob4889]

Anish Kapoor vs Stuart Semple is my favourite beef in the art community lol

[@CamCamCamCamCamCamCamCamCammmm]

Sorry to burst your bubble Corry, but annoyingly water and oil don‘t have the same roll in their respective paints (watercolour and oil paint). Oil is the medium as you were saying in which the pigment is suspended and is applied by thinning the paint with a solvent for better handling, whereas in watercolour the medium is traditionally gum arabic (or other) which can be solubalized with water, hence the name. Great appreciation for the paint drama though from an art conservator in training!

[@stephanie5293]

My favourite colour is like a light teal/blue ish thing.

[@thiel_spencer]

I started saying I liked the color navy blue when people would get snippy about black being a shade and not a color but... I've come to quite like the color navy blue anyway haha

[@livvy_lou_3971]

[@KittyThaliaX23]

Favorite color is blue and green, depending on if I’m in a calm mood or a hyperactive one

[@angelicaharwell3062]

Luke explains the origins of the Universe(or something equally incomprehensible)...in one long run on sentence....then sighs.😂

[@sakaimae]

You guys definitely need more views, I'm always linking my friends to you haha

[@jordanbone79]

Straight macaroni is what they eat at straight pride parades

[@Flow_Like_Water_5]

My favorite colour is the rainbow cos once u've got a rainbow u can make any other colour from it, also gay

[@juanitaduarte6693]

You should paint a pair of sunglasses or just regular glasses

[@caidenwilson6403]

y'all should paint something glass then (safely) break it

[@livvy_lou_3971]

[@GeorgeFarren]

Paint just the lenses of some sunglasses

[@madhatterline]

Pink ☺

[@psykodactyle]

I was going to suggest painting your faces with it, then I realized the implications of that... 😅 so maybe like your hands or something and paint with that glow in the dark stuff over it and become beings of pure light
