I remember when my then-lab partner, Ed Richard, and I dabbled in microbe art many years ago (as MIT undergrads, class of 1975). Our favorites were <i>Serratia marcescens</i> for a beautiful red, a mutant of same for a much better white, and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> for a lovely yellow-gold. Being limited to non-indicator plates, and in the days before cloning was widespread, we never found satisfactory greens or blues, although we had a mold that would give us a blue/green/gray sort of color.
