Bromine is much nicer. Yellow, red or brown, depending on concentration. It's much less deadly though.

Iodine vapour is a gorgeous violet, but isn't toxic at all. I think there's a negative correlation between deadlyness and aesthetic appeal.

A level chemistry.
A whole section on the halogens. There's a rather lovely little experiment with a blob of liquid bromine in a sealed glass tube. Hold the tube and the heat from your hands cause the bromine to turn to vapour which fills the tube. Put it down again and it recondenses.

I know someone with 'SCIENCE' tattooed on their leg.
That's how wonderful science is. Someone has the word printed on their body.
