{{quote|''"It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination, because wherever it appeared it was a sign that mere matter was a servant of the powers of the magical mind.

* In [[Eleanor Cameron]]'s ''The Wonderful Flight to the [[Fungus Humongous|Mushroom Planet]]'', the eccentric scientist discovered the eponymous world by way of his recently invented infra-green filter. (Yeah, Ms. Cameron kinda [[Artistic License Indexes|played fast and loose with science]].)
