Testing+basic+materials

=Colour of the paper= = = Our first objective was to find out what colour paper suited the sundial best, and we need to see which colour suits it best because we need to draw our markings on it so you can tell what time of day it is, date and month. First 1337_570RMIN_N0RM4N, Hexlicious and ILUVSUNDIALS went out to find out what colour lets the light shine through most effectively, we've only tested one hole size, so far we have only tested 1mm (updates will be made). To build our prototype we are using a 1.5L cylindrical soft drink bottle, and some of our other 'Universal Sundial Team Members" (USTM) have started to work on sundial prototype.

Cream 8/10 White 7/10 Green 9/10 Pale Yellow 9/10 Grey 6/10 Pink 5/10 Light Blue 7/10 Dark Yellow 6/10 Black -5/10

This data shows that green and pale yellow are the most effective colours, but you could use most of the other colours to make a different coloured sun-dial.
