Gas stoves don't burn hot enough for the copper pipes to be burning, so... maybe they cleaned the stoves with boric acid..?

Seems like the right colour... ๐Ÿค”

I'll just put it over here with the rest of the fires...

Ooh I want a colored gas stove too, what'll be the minor side effects of sprinkling rainbow colors on my stove.

If it's boric acid. At least you won't find live mice in your food

That's so boring

More than likely just a filter on their camera. If it was from copper pipes, which is rare, it would be from copper oxide build ups inside the pipes. Of course the color wouldn't be this uniform, but the same can be said for some kind of cleaning product.

But nothing else is green? So how would it be the filter.

You can selectively shift hues pretty easily in photoshopa

Actually, the grout does look more puke-green than it should.
