That's what you called pink.
No, I'm just wondering... We clearly define colors differently.
To me,
"Lyserød", which is usually translated to pink is (255, 127, 127)
Magenta is (255, 0, 255)
Salmon is a fish
But pink is also a large range of colors - there is hot pink which is closer to magenta.

@leeloo@chaosfem.tw yeah, color is a weird social construct. in fact, I kinda picked tennis balls deliberately as a bit of a sneaky sub-story. because a lot of people would actually disagree that tennis balls are yellow: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/what-color-tennis-ball-green-yellow/523521/

@denschub@mastodon.schub.social For completeness, here's what CSS says, according to Wikipedia: DeepPink (255, 20, 147) HotPink (255, 105, 180) Pink (255, 192, 203) Magenta (255, 0, 255) Salmon (250, 128, 114) Note that pink has plenty of green - though slightly less than blue.
