RE: [TCML] parker globe for sale

There are formulas for making a great number of colors. 
The standard globe that you usually see in novelty stores is an easy mix
of inexpensive neon & argon.
The other colors require fairly exact rations of one gas to another and
often also have other chemicals that are injected in the mix.  I believe
sodium bromide (sp?) was one of the add ons that could be used to obtain
the green coloring in a xenon/argon mix, but I don't recall the exact
formula.
