In 1856, an eighteen-year-old chemistry student trying to synthesise quinine accidentally created the world's first synthetic dye — and accidentally poisoned an entire century. The story of William Perkin's mauve obsession is also the story of how a single flask of coal tar sludge gave rise to the modern pharmaceutical industry, aniline dyes, and a class of chemicals we are still reckoning with in our bloodstreams today. Sometimes the discovery that saves millions begins by killing the man who found it.
