Curiosity-4 topic How oil paint is made?

First, they mix a powdered pigment with linseed oil. They then spoon the mixture into a mill. Giant rollers coat the pigment particles in oil. Soon the paint is thick and full of colour. The air filtration system protects employees from exposure to pigment dust. It also collects the dust too. Then turns it into a dark shade called Torrit Grey. Then they are packaged up and sent away.
What I'm wondering :
I wonder how colors are put onto different things(not by painting)

Curiosity topic/3 How are M&Ms made

They start by mixing the ingredients till it turns into a chocolate paste. It's then heated and cooled several times. They spray multiple coats of colour onto the chocolate to create their hard shells which keep the chocolate from melting. Next, they add the M using a special machine. The M&Ms are bagged then shipped to different countries all around the world.

Diamonds-2



Diamonds can be made in a lab. They start with a robotic laser.
It cuts slivers from a chunk of real diamond to produce tiny wafers they’re five millimetres wide and a quarter millimetre thick. That's as thin as a human hair. The laser blackens the diamond so they place
it on a steel block for polishing. They rim the way for with epoxy so it doesn’t slide around. The epoxy
requires an activator so they brush it on next the chemical reaction causes the epoxy to solidify in a few
seconds. They put the block on to a threaded rod that's attached to a metal arm. They lower the arm
with the diamond wafer onto a wheel that’s swirling with diamond grit. They clear the crystal and move it
to a metal chamber to grow. watch the video to find out more

Curiosity topic-1 how skittles are made

The inside of the skittles is molded into a sphere-like shape. they use toffee for the middle. It forms a pip(seed form a fruit). Each one gets layers of colour to form its shell. The skittles get sent down a blending belt. Where colours get mixed together. They put the famous S on to the skittles, Then there paged up.  The Skittles get sent away to lots of different countries. Skittles is also a game. The game is played with wooden pins, Usually, nine set up at the end of an alley to be bowled down with a wooden ball. Now, this makes me wonder how M&Ms are made.

Here is the video I found and got the info off. How Skittles are made.
