If you look at the ingredients, my box says there is: water, propylene glycol, yellow 5, red 40, and blue 1. Propylene glycol, mentioned on the fomepizole entry, is just a nontoxic alcohol that probably makes the dyes a bit more soluble. Notice there are only three dyes. This is probably not so surprising since we have yellow, red, and blue, and the only one without its own dye is green. Presumably the venerable principle of &#8220;yellow and blue make green&#8221; is at work here. We set out to verify the YABMG theory.
