Well, sweetheart, Gram's stain is used to differentiate bacteria into two groups based on their cell wall composition - either Gram-positive or Gram-negative. On the other hand, Wright's stain is a Romanowsky stain used in hematology to stain blood cells for microscopic examination. So, in a nutshell, one is for bacteria and the other is for blood cells. Hope that clears things up for you, darling.

Oh, dude, gram's stain and wright's stain are like two siblings from different mothers in the staining world. Gram's stain is all about that purple and pink action, distinguishing between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, while Wright's stain is more into the whole blood cell scene, helping to identify different types of blood cells under the microscope. So, like, one is for bacteria and the other is for blood cells, but they both just want to make things colorful and stand out in the lab, you know?
Wright's Stain is a mixture of methylene blue and eosin in methanol. Gram's stain is crystal violet, iodine washed with acetone and proofed with a safranin dye to look for gram negative organism.
The difference between a biological stain and a compound imparting color is more one of use rather than effect. Both impart color, but a biological stain imparts color to a feature that we want to look at, like the nucleus of a cell, cell walls, fat cells, disease cells, etc. If we spilled, say prussian blue on a lab coat, it would be the same as a coffee stain, but applied to a sample of bone marrow, it detects the presence of iron.
a huge stain. a jumbo stain. a large stain.
A cause is the reason why something happened. A consequence is the result of an action. For example: The cause of the stain on his shirt was that his pen leaked ink all over it. The consequence of forgetting to put the cap on his pen was that it leaked all over his shirt.
Bleach will take a stain out.
