John, that reminds me of the two women talking

1st woman: Have you ever been married?
2nd woman: Yes, twice.
1st woman: Any children?
2nd woman: yes, one of them was.

Forget it John, you simply don't have a feminine side to get in touch with!

Anyone who can spell fuchsia right first time might be accused of having a feminine side though

Hey Loz! Since you brought up the subject....

Having to spell fuchsia right is truely bothersome each and everytime I want to make some type in here look pink . Which begs the question... why can't we just type [pink] when it would be sooo much simpler for us typing/spelling challenged kickers? It's not like we need to distinguish between two subtly different hues, since no other pink exists in our little KA world. So? Could it happen? Please?

p.s. I thought I'd try posing the question to you first Loz, as the one most likely to have engineered such explicit use of the english language in the first place!

Hugs,

'Twas not I Melinda. The fuchsia tradition goes way back before my relatively short time here.

So, Pink? It seems to me that there's a problem with just plain 'pink'.... Although you're right in that there is only one pink on KA, there are an awful lot of pinks in general. There's pale pink, baby pink, shocking pink, hot pink, dusky pink, rose pink, blush pink, deep pink, shell pink and medium pink; not to mention ultra pink (which is presumably very similar to neon pink) and of course - fuchsia.

So, my questions is this: If we had only an unspecified 'pink' as the description and somebody imagined that by selecting it they'd get a 'colonial rose', how am I to console the disappointment of the fuchsia pink they were so very much not expecting?

'Twas not you? I can hardly believe it! Yep, this is the reason I'm not a betting type,.. as I would've surely lost this one.

Yes, pink! Now please don't go making problems where none exist Loz! There is no problem with just plain pink, as pink is aptly descriptive enough for most users, and fitting as well. Please note that all of your attempts to put forth an alternate name included the word pink.... me thinks you could've at least thrown in magenta for a bit of variety, especially since the hue in question likely is of a value and intensity of this subtractive complementary.

Considering that colour is really only a phenomenon of perception, and that tints of red are generally referred to, and accepted as, 'pinks', there is a better than average chance that none would argue against it's use. None with the exception of you perhaps, silly man!

Now, as much as playing devil's advocate is obviously pretty entertaining, would you not agree sir that pink is much more user friendly? Btw, colonial rose? Nope, not even close! lol

Oh, and fyi, I believe that 'ultra' likely refers to a hue's intensity, whereas 'neon' would be suggestive of luminosity, but of course I could be wrong.
Hugs!

all this talk about color pink why not add midnight black or pearl black to the repertoire of the color line up. if you have to get pink to change for just one person might as well make everyone happy. heheh... thought I would throw my 2 cents in to the fray.

"If you succeed through violence at the expense of other's rights and welfare, you have not solved the problem, but only created the seeds for another." - William Wheaton

Not to mention bubblegum pink, magenta, dusty rose, ashes of roses, coral pink, hydrangea pink.

Anyone else?

John, do you have a Girly side? I'd love to see it!
