[edit] Inconsistency?

The text says that the modified methyl orange's colours are grey and green, but the diagram shows colourless (?) and purple...? 86.148.60.205 20:14, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorectness!

That isn't the correct structure of methyl orange there! When it acts as a base, the H⁺ does not add itself onto the O^- in the SO₃ group, but instead into one of the 'middle' N's, causing a shuffle-round of elecrons converting the non-sulphate arene into a cyclohexdiene group and placing a + charge on the 'outmost' N. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Luke1001 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC).
