Congratulations Cogito

Congratulations!

 

Fuchsia and magenta are nearly the same colour.
Fuchsia is far closer to pink, being merely a tonally darker fluorescent pink.
Magenta is two tones darker than Fushsia.
So technically both are pinks.
What you have acquired is what is light purple, or if you were wanting to mix it, add equal amounts of cool blue and cool red, add 1:40 parts white and 1:25 parts gum turpentine.
If the forum calls the colour Magenta, it is by far, wrong.

 

In a more limited scope, I guess I could agree, though there has been some corruptions of both:

For my part, I'll consider it an off-green

Wow, all the changes I missed...
Congrats, Cogito, and may I say it's a very good choice. Have a cookie

 

Thanks, Banzai. Go ahead and donate the cookie to the Jar though. It would ruin dinner.

 

But if I put it in the jar, it'll just get stolen....
Unless you guys caught the cookie thief while I was away, in which case no fair...
