One of my greatest personal confusions has been cleared up. I wanted to change a color of something on a web page and needed the code for the color so I checked the first chart I Googled, which noted:

“Aqua” and “Cyan” produce the same color: 00FFFF
“Fuchsia” and “Magenta” produce the same color: FF00FF

I wasn’t looking up any of those colors, but “Fuchsia” and “Magenta” have long been bugaboos for me even though I used to collect stamps and “Magenta” has always been a legitimate word there.

If I can just figure out now what “Mauve” is the same as, I can go on to pondering bigger things about the Universe.
