Full description: A shelf of paint in a basement that always contains all different shades of the person's favorite color. The shelf has proven to be immovable but other tools in the basement can be moved. Any types of cameras don’t work around the shelf so it is unknown what paint is on the shelf if any when nobody is in the basement. Cameras that were set up around the house worked as normal as long as they did not point to the basement. The paint itself (SCP-5247-1) can be moved anywhere and nothing will happen however, once it’s opened, for the first 12 hours it will smell like burnt human flesh, the next 8 hours will smell like a freshly cut lawn, after the 8 hours it will smell like vanilla extract until used. Tests conducted with two D-class personnel one whose favorite color is light red and the others a deep blue has reported a color spectrum from light red on the left, a purple in the middle, and deep blue on the right. The paint itself is not at all harmful to humans and can even be consumed with no ill effects. In fact, everybody who consumed the paint said it tasted like their favorite food. Excluding smell and color-changing, tests on SCP-5247-1 have shown that when it gets poured on organs it will heal then preserve them perfectly. It works really well in fact they can be used in transplants ( Possible remains or organs provided by the fatal casualties of the SCP-5248 case with the permission of the families and the ethics committee). The basement itself (SCP-5247-2) is 1161 feet squared. The walls are 6 inches thick and made completely of cement bricks. The tools (SCP-5247-3) are the most dangerous part of the basement; these include a table saw, a band saw, several tool belts, an air compressor, and other various tools as well as an assumed gun safe that has not been able to be opened. If they are removed from the basement they will explode and kill anybody in a 20-meter radius within 30 minutes after leaving and inexplicably reappear in the basement. All personnel who were in the basement when the tool reappears describe a blinding flash of light then seeing the tool exactly where it was before it was removed. For an unexplained reason the abandoned house is still visited by SCP-4255 the gift left in the house is usually a tool that must be left in the basement within 48 hours of the gifts (now SCP-5247-3) arrival. Other gifts include pieces of wood or metal which then become SCP5247-4 if nobody is in the basement for an extended period of time the wood and metal will become standard household furniture such as a chair or table these are classified as SCP5247-5. SCP-5247-5 has no anomalous properties and has been noted to be very durable. Dr. Andrew Bow, the lead researcher on SCP-5247 was the first to discover this anomaly which is currently a lonely house on a hill. The rest of the house has no anomalous properties, the house was discovered when Dr. Bow undercover as a demolition crew member and his team went into the house. An argument started between two of the crew members and both said they saw different colors, the demolition crew was given amnestic and all records of the house were removed. After 8 months of waiting and testing SCP-5247 the 05 counsel allowed for cross-testing between Dr. Bow’s SCP-5247 and Dr. J’s SCP-5248. All personnel was evacuated. It took an hour but eventually, SCP-5248 showed up and was moved into the building Dr. Bow and Dr. J waited 15 minutes then sent in one D-class personnel to investigate and to the surprise of Dr. Bow, Dr. J, and their team the D-class named Gary Hedges returned back to them unscathed and the D-class went through an extensive psychiatric evaluation and was determined to be most mentally sound. From what Gary Hedges had reported SCP-5248 had become less active and vicious and its effects on the human psyche and been more or less quelled but not entirely however SCP-5248 was consuming the paint. The basement also seems to have adjusted itself to the gigantic size of SCP-5248. Further research showed that SCP-5248 has no effect on it other than consuming it, on the color or the other properties of SCP-5247. Containment has been changed to Lockdown all personnel MUST have written permission from either Dr. Bow or Dr. J there should be guards around the house at all times and SCP-5247 has been reclassed from safe to thaumiel. SCP-5248 will stay within the confines of SCP-5247 temporarily until further notice from the 05 council in order to better confine SCP-5248 and its effects.

<Dr. Bow> (muttering) why do we need an audio message it’s already
documented
<Dr. J> (Shouting sarcastically) Because the foundation asked what are we gonna do, not be employed?
<Dr. Bow> (whispering) ok ok just don’t yell
<Dr. J> (whispering back jokingly) Of course only the most inside voices
<Dr. J> (Clearing voice) I think it's on
<Dr. J> (Clicking of switches) Ok we are ready to go
<Dr. J> This is Dr. J and Dr. Andrew Bow speaking we are discussing the documentation of both of our recent SCP discoveries I will let you take the floor
<Dr. Bow> Thank you, Dr. J, as you know SCP-5247-1 has the ability to heal the preserve human organs for months on end unfortunately this doesn’t work for the brains of victims of SCP-5248
<Dr. J> Indeed it is unfortunate but the organs of the deceased will be used in life-saving transplants. SCP - 5247-1 also has many other erroneous properties would you like to tell us about them Dr. Bow
<Dr. Bow> Yes in addition to the healing properties of the paint and the smell mentioned in the report the paint never changes color once it is taken off the shelf however if the paint is put back onto the shelf it has a chance of becoming a beautiful swirl of colors in the bucket or a horrible mess of a concoction which is sickening to look at. We don’t know if it is connected to the next person who enters the basement or if it is random.
<Dr. J> Before the capture of SCP-5248 it was spotted in the woods near SCP-5247 we have no idea if SCP-5248 has a connection of any sort with SCP-5247 and we are currently waiting for confirmation from the 05 counsel to conduct experiments. (whispers) is that all we have to report on I thought this was a big deal or something?
<Dr. Bow> that is all we have to say we will update this if 05 grants permission to begin testing.
<Dr. J> This is Dr.J and Dr. Bow Signing out
<Dr. Bow> (Low voice muttering) Stupid audio reports
[Transmission Ends]
[A few months later Dr. Bow and Dr. J received permission from 05 to conduct an experiment between SCP-5247 and SCP-5248]
