Fun fact: I actually AM allergic to color, I just not in my clothes. I can't eat artificial colors in food. I don't have a typical allergic reaction, but they give me weird mood swings and headaches. Maybe something for a Food Theory at a later date?
SHUT UP BOT. Anyway that would be a cool theory.
@im sacred dude, don't join in comment spamming. It makes everyone have less fun and it's not even actually that funny.
Hmmm

Wednesday being allergic to the sun would actually unironically be in character for the Addams Family franchise

vampirism....
My mom is allergic to fake metals
@@xavierlisane4037 if she listens to metal music she could use that as a joke whenever someone listens to a bad band lol
@@12DAMDO lmao my mom's a metalhead and allergic to fake metals I should tell her this when I see her tomorrow haha
It’s so funny: this weekend I met a girl who showed me a giant scar because apparently she was allergic to the green color of her new tattoo. And I was travelling with another girl and she got weird spots on her hand and when I asked about them, she told me that she is allergic to sunlight and that her skin does this every year in spring 😢 This episode feels like fate to me.😅
I get those spots on my hands as well, AND my arms and neck get itchy if I don't apply sunscreen in the summer. Luckily, it can be prevented through careful exposure in low-UV conditions, but I find it difficult to have bare arms in early spring due to the temperature. My face is never affected, because it receives sunlight year-round.
i knew a woman who was allergic to the colour yellow. she couldn't touch or eat anything yellow, clothes, candies, etc.
turns out, she was allergic to a very common yellow dye. once she looked for it in packaging she noticed what would and wouldn't hurt her.
When I first started reading this, I was almost going to ask, "Was she secretly a Green Lantern?" But no, I read the rest of the comment, and I get it. Heh.
@@LamanKnight
She may still be green lantern
I recently went to a dermatologists to have a patch test done. It showed I was allergic to specifically black and red dyes. I break out in a painful raised red rash. This sucks because 90% of my clothing is black 😅. I am also allergic to the chemical that makes rubber stretchy.
attack of the bots
Oh no
What's the first link?
Just Black and Red dyes is weird. Black dye is based off of other colors- a red based dye is more than possible, I had a pair of gloves with a red based black dye, but blue and brown based blacks are FAR more common these days. But you're not allergic to those. I'd suggest talking to your allergist about the ingredients or chemicals IN the dyes, because if it's actually a dye ingredient then you may run into trouble elsewhere.

Sun allergy is also a thing with Morticia Addams (the original adams family series) where there is an episode where her husband Gomez Addams opens the window and theres light but their pet plant hates light. So he closes the window because Morticia hates light. Meaning that canonically, Wednesdays allergic to color is genetic
i have that but i only snese
bro is onto something
gonna fix that.
@@engriskovaci805 it's pretty common.
@toastbeb Porphyria would make sense since victims can often have hallucinations, and Wednesday has visions. It's taken to the magical extreme, but yeah. Except we see Wednesday's face in the light, and she doesn't look like Freddy Krueger. So maybe? Maybe not.
I have severe visual/ light sensitivity, especially to colors. Being outside during the day gives me migraines and being surrounded by/ having to wear color also gives me pretty significant headaches. A symptom of my migraines is a burning sensation that makes me wanna scratch at my arms- and if i do it makes my skin peel. I honestly didn't question any of it. I've dressed in near all black since i was 10.
Interesting, is there a name for it? I wanna read about it because all I can think of is a possible sub category of epalepsy. You wont go into shock but skin irritation and migrains are common to weaker forms of it
@@theamericankaiser4549 im not epileptic. I've actually been tested for that. Its actually mostly just sensory issues but some nerve damage as well. Primary just *severe light sensitivity* tho
This video intrigued me because for a majority of my life I was genuinely allergic to a color. Something in the color blue always made me react. Whether it was blue candy, blue toys, or even blue clothes, I’d always end up in the hospital with a life threatening allergic reaction. Hives, throat closing, vomiting, anaphylactic shock, etc. It caused me to essentially live in hospitals and doctor offices for my entire childhood, and the times I was well enough to go to school were just spent getting bullied to hell and back. (Cue me getting drawn on with blue markers by classmates, then promptly getting wheeled out by paramedics 10 minutes later.) It took about 16 years, but now I’m able to mostly incorporate the color into my life. I have to take six pills a day, and get two injections twice a month, but I’d say it’s worth it! It’s actually my favorite color now! As I type this, I’m wearing blue jeans; something I’d never dream of even touching two years ago :)
Personal anecdotes aside, this was an incredibly entertaining and insightful video! Keep it up!
I have another hypothesis:
Suppose Wednesday is allergic to the vast majority of commonly used dyes in the textile industry, and all of her clothes are in fact custom ordered with one very special type of dye that she isn't allergic to, but is effectively monochrome and, when diluted, becomes grey instead of blue, green, or purple.
Would it be expensive? Yes, but the Addams family is pretty darn wealthy, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Gomez or Morticia owned a company that makes and sells clothes, which would make it slightly less expensive to get Wednesday's hypoallergenic-dyed clothes (outsourcing can make things quite pricey).
So a wide arrange of similar allergies
What if I put that dye in my shoes and start stomping her out brutally?
This is what I was thinking ♥️
That sounds like something much more plausible. I don't think anyone that actually has light sensitive skin would claim to be "allergic to color". I'd bet most of the ones in real life still wear colorful protective clothing (like the one shown in the video with the helmet). Of course, I'm pretty sure the real reason is she is just being snarky about her dislike of colors.
@@SgtSupaman Well, no one with a normal brain would. But she is known for overcomplicating things for no other reason than to be an insufferable know-it-all.
Back in the mid to late 2000s, aka my high gothic phase, I found out that I had an allergy to certain black fabric dyes... Had to wear white for weeks to get rid of those rashes. Absolutely crushed my self esteem as a creature of the dark 😂
BAHAHAHAHAHA you Just brightetend my Day LOL
Should have gone white-goth
Google Shironuri fashion bro. It means white monster. Try that. It's really cool and you could change it to your style as well.
@@gabrielbarros493 nothing wrong with rocking gothic clothes
@@gabrielbarros493 lol what no. Goth is just a style of clothing you wear. You are comparing a clothing to a mental disorder and a personality trait. They don't relate
This video was very important to me because I finally get it why my sun allergy started!! I was suspecting it was about the medicine I'm taking but now that matpad confirms that that's possible, I kinda got my theory confirmed
Edit: my mother is allergic to cold, so maybe the extra sensibility to climate is a factor too
Me too! I'm allergic to sunlight and I think I got diagnosed right after taking new medication
I'm allergic to cold to
It’s funny you mention sun allergies because I tease my husband that he’s allergic to the sun. Not because it irritates his skin at all, but whenever he goes outside and the sun is out, he ALWAYS lets out a huge sneeze 😂
Could it be more likely a reaction to pollen instead?
@@CJ-up7pn It happens in the winter too when there’s no pollen 😂 It’s a mystery…
I mean, there's a thing where if ur in the dark and go out to somewhere with a bright light you sneeze. So maybe it's an extreme version of that
There’s also something, ironically, called ACHOO syndrome where someone sneezes when exposed to sunlight or other very strong lights. Maybe it’s something like that?
you stole my comment lol 🤣🤣@@juliameindl5721
Something that I saw suggested on tiktok (it was a while back so I can’t remember who) was that Wednesday isn’t literally allergic to color but rather she gets overstimulated by color because the reaction she describes is one way it feels when you are overstimulated. The whole video was about how Wednesday’s “quirky” personality was just her being autistic coded which honestly is my personal head cannon now as an autistic individual myself.
I was about to say the same thing.
Watching this video I thought he was gonna end up saying it's psychological. She's not physically allergic to color, but mentally the idea of her being in contact with color is harmful.
What about all the other students who are wearing color tho
This.... Hives from the stress ... And skin felling like it's melting off etc. Physical rashes/hives can form from mental/emotional stress
I was going to comment the same thing, as someone in the spectrum, that's exactely how I feel when I get overstimulated, except the things that affects me the most are sound and texture
Wednesday could have a phobia of color which could make her actually have a serious reaction to interacting with it. While it’s not an allergy it seems more plausible.
As someone with UV light allergy I never would’ve thought I would be able to see someone doing proper research into some thing I have been suffering with for decades… I’ve always loved the contents from the theorists but hats off to y’all.
How this crew takes a popular show, and makes a lesson, is got darn amazing. Keep it up Theory team! You guys are a buncha geniuses.
So grateful MatPat and Team Theorists have finally been able to bring this channel to life

It’s been that way

Wednesday being allergic to the sun is actually surprisingly fitting.
Wait then why in the show she’s in the sun like… 75% of the show?
@@animator_and_gamer Well she covers her whole body from neck to toe, so she does really have some sort of protection, but it's really the face that she doesn't do anything about, well exept for her two activities that actually have face protection...
She’s basically a vampire
@Lynn Ezzeddine
@Maddie has a UV allergy and it only affects them in certain places on their body, you don’t necessarily have to cover all of your body. it’s actually more rare to have the reaction present on your face, scalp, neck etc because those are the parts of you that are always exposed to light and develop a tolerance
EVEN A JOJO REFERENCE!
I actually knew the actor for Wednesday from the 1960’s show personally. She was a very sweet woman, with a lot of great stories from her experiences as a child actor. My mom met her on an airplane, which was how I knew her. They became very close friends and moved in with my mom and stepdad. But then things went south with my mom and stepdad and her and Lisa ended up moving in with my dad. They were both living there for a few months, which was when I ended up meeting her in person. My mom and Lisa went everywhere together. Unfortunately they had to split up because Lisa needed to go to rehab where she passed a few months later. She was in a lot of pain in her last few months but we did what we could to keep her active and healthy. She signed a picture of her as Wednesday shortly before she passed where she called me her friend. RIP Lisa.
Theory idea..
I was just rewatching a video you did 5 years ago and you mentioned “how the world Wonder Woman’s blue silk dress was able to hold up an entire sword.” Would it be possible and would the sword you could hold that way actually be able to do the harm it does in the movie???
As a kid, I remember a neighbor I used to have who was allergic to the sun. I never got to actually see her except for once through a window and once walking with a black umbrella in her backyard. I remember being so confused about her condition. I hope she's doing well
Aww, this was so wholesome to read. Hope she's doing well too.
Hun, your neighbor was a vampire.

@@Omar-rb9xc how
The Theorist at the beginning _not_ sneezing at Mat handing him "Sans is Ness" is probably one of the funniest openings I've ever seen
She probably has porphyria. Symptoms include skin irritation and sensitivity to light. It also causes anxiety which she clearly has. Porphyria has been linked to seizures and mental confusion which could explain her "visions". Some forms of porphyria can affect how your body handles various nutrients like iron which might be why she was excited when they got showered in what she initially thought was iron rich blood at the dance. Its also usually inherited, and her mother has a lot of the same symtoms like an aversion to light and "visions".
I actually have a customer that wears all white. She told me that she worked on the covers of magazines in NYC, and when they went to Africa to work on a shoot that she wore the clothes there but since returning to the US she gets contact dermatitis from dyed clothing (but not bleached). She said this started 15 years ago and her doctors never found a reason or a solution so she basically had to buy a whole new wardrobe overnight.
I was expecting a more psychological angle. It's possible to experience a Nocebo Effect (negative placebo effect), so Wednesday could have Nocebo'ed herself into thinking that being in direct contact with bright, vibrant colors would cause her harm. Considering the environment that Wednesday grew up in and her mother's attitude to pastels, she could have developed a deeply rooted belief that colors were bad and would harm her. And the weird thing with the Nocebo effect, even if Wednesday isn't actually allergic to light on any physical level, she could experience physical symptoms as a result of psychological distress and her belief of what symptoms she should experience.
Regardless of the way she was raised, I find it extremely unlikely that she never encountered bright colour in her whole life, and thus still believed they would cause the skin to peel off her bones.
It's more likely that she had a traumatic experience at some point which her brain (mis)interpreted as being caused by color, and that resulted in her having electric reactions whenever she came in contact with anything colorful.
Hives can also be triggered by high levels of stress which the Nocebo effect can cause.
i was thinking something similar to this with maybe a form of ocd or something.
Came to the comments hoping to see something like what you said perfectly 👌 🙌🙌🙌💖
7:52 this is explains all the arguments of whether a piece of clothing is black, blue, or purple
This is an awesome way to have a mini Film theory Style Theory crossover.
So I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which can be neatly summed up by saying I'm Allergic to Being Alive. Some things which have thrown me into anaphylactic shock include:
- being too cold or too hot
- eating solid foods
- strong emotions (this is a big one)
The intense joint inflammation that comes with mast cell attacks also knocks my bones and soft tissue out of place.
That said, I'm thinking that if Wednesday's allergy had a Mast Cell condition attached, her allergy to color or the emotions she experiences around specific colors could, in fact, make her skin peel off, and if her joints swell enough the muscles and ligaments i.e. flesh could peel off of her bones.
Theory solidified lol
Edit: Whoa, I did not expect all the sweet replies on my stubborn theory comment!! Thank you all so very much! I tried to respond to each one of you, but to everyone who expressed concern, yes, I am thankfully doing much better with proper treatment.
If you know anyone with suspected MCAS or other mast cell disorders, the Mast Cell Disease Society has printable instructions for emergency room personnel and doctors to keep your loved ones safe! Thank you for caring.
omg I'm so sorry to hear that, i hope your condition doesnt stop you from enjoying the life you want, i wish you the best, have a wonderful day :)
I just hope you don't pass that issues
and the strong emotions point!
*that should be a semicolon. (#Bookworm . #SorryNotSorry )
Wednesday must prevent herself from feeling too much, lest her emotional and physical sensitivity to love tear her apart from the inside out
You can also be allergic to different colored tattoo ink. I had a red ink that I had a bad reaction to, only to change artists (and ink brands) to get that fixed. Granted, it's not a light allergy, but it is a color allergy lol
I went off with Dynamic Blue & White! Little white pimple-like bumps all up and down my arm, spreading all the way down to my wrist and up to my ear. All from a small tattoo done on my upper arm. Waited 2 months for it to calm down, then got the touch-ups in a different brand. Tattoo ink allergies are a real thing, man!
No, it isn't. It's a metal allergy, if red usually nickel.
My friend has a sun allergy of some kind where it's not severe enough for her to have to put on head gear, but she can get rash and itching from sun exposure, so she tries not to sit in the sun, uses a lot of skin creams and probably wearing covering clothing would also help her (although she rarely does it, as she always feels hot). So if Wednesday had the same condition as my friend, her clothing would make sense without needing to add some head gear to it.
I actually went to school with a girl who was allergic to something used in mosy blue dyes and colourings. Food dye, fabric dye, blue paper, you name it. Usually she just simplified it by saying she was allergic to blue!
I was with you up until you mentioned that if you're allergic to UV you would have to cover even your scalp and eyes so she must be lying and while I'm sure there are some UV allergies that are that severe, I know from personal experience that not all of them are! I developed a UV allergy about 6 years ago and while I do get hives and become very itchy it only affects me in certain areas (although those areas seem to be growing unfortunately). Specifically I only react on my chest, arms, shoulders, upper back, and more recently it's started spreading to react up my neck to about where my ears are. If she had a similar allergy level as I do then the clothing precautions she makes is pretty much exactly what I do, cover the affectable area. Also, it seems that I only react to UV rays when they get to a certain level as I don't react every day or even only on sunny days and there are some sunscreens that work to block/reflect UV rays instead of absorb them that mean even on a high UV level day I can go out in a tank top. Taking this in mind, it's definitely a possibility that she does actually have a UV allergy, it just may not be as severe as you think it would have to be
Your comment sounds like my mother's condition. Like you she gets those symptoms when it's sunny and hot. I think a doctor recommended some cream to her. Didn't work on her but maybe it works on Wednesday. Anyway it's definetly one of the worst allergy ever with climate change.
That's so interesting! Hope, it doesn't continue to spread :/
Woo, thank you for this! I have Solar Urticaria, and the only area it really affects is my scalp. When he started going on about how you need to cover everything I knew that wasn't right. But it's easier to educate about one thing en mass than break it up and show the different ways it can affect. 30 minutes outside for me, and I get blood blisters on my scalp and a very aggravated sunstroke. I hope yours stops progressing, I can't imagine what it would be like to live normally and then suddenly develop this.
I myself have it to. Luckily for me, it's not bad enough to the point I need to cover up every piece of my body.
This needs to be pinned.
0:21 HE WAS ACTUALLY CORRECT!?
Is just a joke like he does at the start of each video, even Toby said he was wrong (i think)
My grandma is allergic to sunlight & had to see multiple doctors as a child before it was finally figured out in her teens
1:26 those uniforms look like a purple version of what Beetlejuice wears and I love it
It's funny because I recently found out I'm allergic to the adhesive used on tape and bandaids. I always thought your skin being red after taking a bandaid off was normal but I had to have an IV and my skin was literally burning from the tap they used.
If you rip off a bandaid it will be red for a bit, which is normal, but adhesive allergies aren’t
@@neonheroyt no like it gets really really red and sometimes itchy
My roommate has the same allergy, but it's so bad that their skin will actually start to get goopy and peel off
As a black person I can say I have no idea what ur talking about
@@AceoftheVoid ew glad mine isn't that bad but it hurts like hell
My brother had an interesting relationship with color when we were young. His feet would peel extensively if he wore anything on his feet that had a dye in them. He could only where white socks with white shoes until he hit puberty, after that the peeling stopped.Don't know how the doctor figured that out, but kudo bars were a thing in the 90's so kudos to him.
8:51 I HAVE THAT BOOK
My friend and I are both allergic to direct sunlight but in different ways. Her autoimmune disorder reacts in the classical way described in the video: exposure then severe, extensive, inflamed hives. In my case, it takes the barest hint of a sunburn on any part of my body -- a minute in direct rays is enough for my pale skin -- and I get "sun-sick", a collection of symptoms similar to an awful flu. Muscle fatigue, aches, chills; the whole lot. I've been bed-bound by it in the past. As a result, we both dress in similar full-body Wednesday-esque garb, lol. Looser, cooler fabrics, though.
I actually have a sun allergy (Polymorphic light eruption). I sometimes get white or red/pink itchy bumps on my arms. Glad someone's finally covering it. (its extremely mild and it hardly appears, but I still usually wear full coverage in my clothes)
I also have something like that called Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM)
The legend of vampires becomes more clear everyday
I used to have PLE too! It suddenly appeared in my early 20s and just as mysteriously went away about a decade later. Apparently that's quite common with this sort of allergy, as it might be linked to hormonal changes.
@@shadow1150zz STOP REVEALING MY SECRET
Some Style Theory Ideas I Came Up With:
-Why is it bad to wear jeans to sleep? Can sleeping with jeans change your leg orientation/shape? If so, what then are the best things to wear to bed?
-I recently watched the anthony padilla video about barefooters, and I was wondering, why like their feet were less vulnerable to sharp objects? Are there benefits and evidence to back this up? Is it actually better to not wear shoes at all?
-What outfits are actually scientifically aesthetically pleasing? What are the components into having the perfect outfit? Color, Style, Hairstyle, Accessories, Brands, Top to Bottom Ratio?
Wait jeans are bad for sleeping?
- Jeans, specially skinny jeans, can cut your circulation and you kinda need your blood going around
- your feet growns harder skin to try and protect you if you keep abusing it, it would do that even if you only walk around with hard shoes or sandals. The feet does this because our ancestors had no shoes at all
I think clothing athstetics is situational
Why would you want to wear jeans to bed? And sleeping without any pants is best for your private parts.
i have a UV allergy and it only affects me in certain places on my body, you don’t necessarily have to cover all of your body. it’s actually more rare to have the reaction present on your face, scalp, neck etc because those are the parts of you that are always exposed to light and develop a tolerance
Same. I recently developed an UV allergy, but it does not seem to affect my face or neck. It does effect my hands, though
One of my family members has problems with UV light! So cool to see it brought up.
don't know if this could be a bonus episode but I was watching a show once where these 2 men restyled this young couples home. The wife had a super rare mental condition where if she looked at certain color or pattern it made her body like shut down and she'd have to go to the hospital so the stylists had to be careful. (and No it wasn't photosensitive epilepsy)
I would like to hear a theory on pointe shoes and what they do to your feet. And where they might go in the future to prevent more pain.
That eould be great. There are some great tiktoks from currently performing ballerinas. Knowing MatPat he would probably hit foot binding too
Also would be interesting to have a video about the practice of foot binding in ancient China.
@@LadyOnikara yea
Yes!
Wow, it makes sense that Wednesday would be allergic to UV radiation! I just thought she was chromophibic, so she said she was allergic to color to avoid it more easily. I know someone with specified fructophobia (she’s only scared of avocados) - she says she’s deathly allergic to them at restaurants to avoid exposure that would distress her. I just kinda figured that was the case with Wednesday, but a sun allergy does make a lot of sense.
idk if this is an odd question but, is there a specific reason its just avocados shes afraid of? was it like a completely unbeknownst fear until her first run in with an avocado or was there like, an incident 😂
@@nope19568 commenting because I, too, would very much like to know more about your friend's avocado aversion
Is your friend afraid of _all_ avocado type things or just the actual avocado and thus okay with, say, guac or cute toon avocado stickers?
@@NotAFanOfHandles i love that we're all just asking this random internet person to disclose the info of their friends avocado fear😂
@@nope19568 😆
As someone with skin so sensitive my neck sometimes gets irritated by my own hair and a seriously annoying and very limiting metal allergy, I could completely believe someone is allergic to color.
Can confirm sun allergies existing, my mom has said allergy. In addition, she wears a black or white hooded sweater when going out into the sunlight, especially during the summer, so I'd say that it checks out, based on what I've witnessed, at least.
Can we just appreciate the thumbnail? It's absolutely stunning, it caught my eye while scrolling and I don't regret clicking on it. Great job team theorist!
There's clearly a whole heck of a lot of visual design & editing that goes into each of these X Theory episodes, both in the thumbnails but also in the video editing! 👏
My brother has a sensitivity to dye in clothes, specifically blue if i remember correctly.
He can still wear clothes with the color though, he just has to wash it a few times first.
(I believe what it does is reduce the amount of dye that will come off from sweat to an amount where it won't affect him)
So while the theory about UV seems to be more likely, it could still be possible that Wednesday is alergic to fabric color. Her clothes would just have to have been washed several times before she could wear them. It would explain why she could hug the roomate too, that pink jacket has probably been washed a few times at least.
I didn't think I could like Wednesday more than I already did, and my favorite nerd made me like her 10x more. Thanks MatPat :)
Very fascinating. I like watching this video. I really hope you start doing theories on the different properties of individual colors in the future, and maybe the combination of colors like my favorite is black on red.
Finally a Wednesday theory! This one was awesome MatPat, keep it up!
@Deadpool. tf
@JakeTheSnake ikr so cringe
how did bro watch it in 2 minutes?
Chill bro
This man has commitment, the entire theorist team had such big commitment they upload almost daily on multiple channels and its some of the best quality videos it truly amazes me👏👏
i aint a bot
but thank you
That have an upload schedule, they don't upload "almost daily"
@@RealbluesparkFN ok
Matpat i have a style theory idea! Here it goes: In Pokémon indigo league, Ash uses rubber gloves to negate Pikachu's electricity. Can this actually be done? Can rubber gloves resist lightning?
I have a friend who is allergic to color specifically food dyes and more specifically, Red Dye 40. They get sick and throw up, headaches (migraines), and shakes. Probably more but that's all I know.
I mean, she could also be allergic to certain artificial colors and maybe even some plantlife. My little sister has a sensitivity to red food dye that causes hyperactivity and flowers that are used in dyes can cause skin irritation, so either of those options is available too.
I once had a coworker with a rayon allergy. I was really glad that I knew about it as a possibility, and we were able to order a special work uniform . No allergic reaction to a polyester uniform!
i thought rayon was a mixture of cotton and polyester
Another way somebody can appear allergic to color are psychosomatic issues. Coming in contact with color can be soo stressful that it could cause hives.
my teacher just went on maternity leave we were just learning about light waves and mattpatt just explained everything i needed to know better than she ever could
My dad (now in his 60s) has been "allergic" to colored socks since childhood. Something about the way his sweat reacts with the dyes in socks of *any* color other than white. It was extremely bad, but had a podiatrist suggest the white socks. When it worked, he explained why. Apparently it was fairly common. To this day, I have never seen him wear anything other than white socks.
I am just glad I did not inherit that, as some of my favorite socks are in fun colors, and I think I own maybe two pairs of white socks, both of which are the little slip socks for wearing with flats which I have a pair for wearing to job interviews.
As someone who is not only colour blind but also (sometimes) allergic to clothes this it the perfect theory for me
I’m a hairstylist and I have clients that are allergic to color and they cannot get their grays covered. They break out and some have been in the hospital for this issue.
Let me stop you there. Black is actually the absence of color, and white is all the colors combined. I just felt the need to say that. Still love your content though keep it up. Your literary one of my favorite youtubers keep up the great work.
12:41
My god! The description of “how” she uses black attire just hit me hard in the high-schools! That was EXACTLY why I dressed (what I called) skater-goth 20 years ago!
I’ve never heard it put so succinctly.
My dad is actually allergic to light, and yeah the stuff he said lines up-
He’s Albino, meaning absolutely no pigment in his skin to act as natural sunscreen.
Real happy I didn’t inherit that, love the sun on my skin
How is this a bot?
“Alargies are your body reacting to things that really came hurt you.”
Matpat has clearly never had a cat stuck to his face.
Thank you for the video MadPad! At dye part, I realized why my skin iches and I brake out in egzema. Im alergic to the Dark blue color dye! I can finaly whatch ur videos in peace so thank you again.
My Dad was in the military with a man who was allergic to the sun and had to be covered head to toe whenever there was sunlight.
I'm wondering if you'll cover Fashin Runway here or Film Theory. I remember watching it with my Mom till someone who used glue, said she had never sewed before, and had a model who partly slipped out of an outfit.
Your dad worked with a vampire?!
I was thinking about the fact that UV makeup is a thing and that Wednesday could be wearing it throughout the show causing her to both look paler through makeup means and actually be lighter skinned by the makeup, which would allow her to not always have to be wearing some headdress
dude takes random things i dont even know i would wanna watch most and solves it thats why im subbed to all 4 channels
As someone who is s sensitive to UV
I can affirm that covering up well is the best solution
However, on high index days, normal cloth is not enough
4:11 luckily there’s a family guy.
00:26 you should have asked them if the Pale King was the Knight in Hollow Knight
Quite obviously a deathly allergic reaction
In the early 90s many products used new types of dyes that I was allergic to. Broke out in hives everywhere that it had contact with my skin...just sad it was the infamous colored toilet paper that was my first interaction with. Soaps, shampoos, toilet paper, even some toothpaste. I did not have to do dishes for 2 years that was nice lol. As for being allergic to radiation I get rash when I put a cell phone near my face for 10 minutes. And skin dryness when I use my phone in my hands
Speaking of contact allergies, as someone who has NEVER been able to find a shampoo that doesn't increase my scalp flakiness, I'd love a proper science deep dive into the chemical constituents of shampoos, how to find something that isn't full to the brim of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, and what to do about flaky scalps.
I have an allergy to the sun and it varies day to day, but when it’s bad it makes my skin swell up to the point I can’t bend my fingers and my skin looks like it’ll pop at any second. More mild reactions I have to it is just general itching and redness or blisters suddenly forming on skin that came into contact with the sun. I combat it by using sunscreen year round and wearing dark clothes that cover 95% of my body, mainly just my hands and face being visible.
Yep. Me too. The blisters come IMMEDIATELY, when I don't cover up.
I too, have a sun allergy. Doctors said that my skin mutated somehow to be intolerant to the sun's rays. I get a spider web like rash where the sun hits me and if I stay exposed for too long it turns to large blisters.
Can try moon bathing like the Addams family do.
@@tusial8165 me too! I have an allergy to the cold as well. If I’m exposed to anything below about 60°f-55°f I’ll start to develop hives, my limbs start to swell up, a lot like when I’ve had exposure to the sun, tho not quite. It’s like having a layer of super fine cactus under my skin and it burns from being cold.

7:28 And this is why you should always wash your clothes when you first buy them.
I’m also allergic to dyes on jeans for some reason. I’ll react to most jeans, unless they’re baggy, because they barely touch my skin. I don’t react when it’s on other fabric, most times. Except tight things on my legs, so I guess I only have reactions if it’s in contact with my legs, thighs etc. I’m also slightly allergic to dust and most hand soaps or soaps in general, I have to use specific ones. Even the ones for sensitive skin can cause reactions, so I’m not sure what in the soap I react to. If I put on hand cream right away, I can sometimes avoid the reactions though
Can we just appreciate the callback to the ness theory at the beginning, and him suggesting it’s still right as a joke? I loved it.
6:35 I think that black is a perfect choice. All color is absorbed by black, and almost no light reflects onto her face
A Wednesday theory on a Saturday, that would have been the perfect setup!
Add the knight is the pale king, and that guy is gonna need 17 epi pens
i don't know what channel you would do it on but you should do a video on how the pace of videos or music affects how fast/slow you can accomplish tasks. for example, i've begun to notice that while i prefer watching long form videos while doing dishes, they often make dish doing take an hour... but today when watching style theory during dish doing, it only took me two 15ish minute episodes. technically it saved me 30 minutes!
I wasn’t expecting style theorist to so suddenly theorize about Wednesday and allergies with colours
It’s amazing how this man can make a whole theory on one quote
Wth
@yo OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT FOR SO LONG TOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Wednesday 🅥 L
As someone who sells Baby Lock sewing machines, you never see them that much in videos.
I don't know why but I enjoyed seeing that.
I thought it might be psychological, I understand that a huge repulsion to something (mostly due to trauma), can also manifest in physical reaction
For the colour aspect, I saw Black as perfectly logical, since if light being reflected is what gives colour, WHITE would be every colour - not black. As such, the black clothes absorbing all light prevents so much light from bouncing off *them* and *onto* Wednesday's skin. However, I'd suggest looking into the idea of her 'allergy' being a psychosomatic response. Colour stresses her out, with that stress being what causes the reaction (writing this at 8:41, so if this comes up later, I'm gonna be chuffed)
I am going to show this to everyone who doubts my vampire aesthetic as being protective of my skin 😂 (I am actually allergic to UV lol)
Cool
love how much detail this went into
I went to school with a kid who is allergic to blue. He can't wear blue clothes or eat anything blue. He would actually break out in hives if he wore something blue, and his throat would close up if he ate or drank anything with blue in it.
Just a small correction: Your logo isn't blue because it is absorbing other wavelengths of light and reflecting blue light. As it is going to generally be viewed on a screen, it's blue because it IS blue light.
This is one of the more interesting theories we've had so far on this channel, and I'm all there for it. Love this, keep it up.
Who wants a theory on the indie game Teardown?
@Wednesday 🅥 oh wow Wednesday! it's a honour! (Making fun of bots)
She could also have lupus, which my dad has. He’s “allergic to the sun”, and it makes him break out in hives, but he doesn’t have to wear a special helmet or anything like that. He wears a hat, but it’s to keep the sun out of his eyes so it doesn’t annoy him, as far as I’m aware.
I've met someone with a uv allergy.
my grandmother is allergic to the the black pigment, and I can not eat things with excessive red food coloring.
they are all interesting allergies.
You forgot psychosomatics as an option. That she believes that she is allergic so much that when focused on it she becomes allergic to it. I've seen it with other things and it can be quite fascinating.
Thing with psychosomatic is, you do not even need to belive in it. No matter how little sense it makes, the symptoms and the suffering is just as real, as if it was logical.
style theory is soon becoming one of my favourite channels!! keep going matpat ❤
I love your pfp cherry is one of my favorite animal crossing characters

I have this allergy, but I always just say that I'm "allergic to overexposure to sunlight" lol I can't remember if that's what I was told when I was younger or if I started saying this myself. the hives, rash, etc is VERY real and irritating and made it very difficult to play outdoor sports.
If suffering from these kinds of skin sensitivities, I've found it also often seems to pair to being reactive to salt & chemicals in one's own sweat (as well as vulnerable to enormous hives from the slightest friction), and probably significantly asthmatic as well, so the whole thing of sports in general is just one big misery!! 😭
As for the being allergic to black because it absorbs all light, I think it's more appropriate to say she's allergic to white since it reflects all types of light. Ironically, there is some white on her as well.
