Research/Hypothesis

After doing some research, I found that chromatography is what scientists or police will use to help them identify what the makeup of an object is. It can determine what an unknown substance is. So, I am going to use paper chromatography to help me identify the colors in colors. Sound familiar? When I draw a line with a marker on a strip of coffee filter and let water creep up the strip of filter, the colors will eventually separate. If you still don't understand look at the side bar for more information.
My hypothesis is that non-scented markers will give brighter colors than scented. I hypothesize this because, I think that non-scented markers will have less ingredients. With less ingredients, the colors will most likely separate easily, quickly, and brightly. With more ingredients (scented), it would take a longer time to separate, and the results would probably be darker because of how much more there is in the marker.
