What color is this stripe

[SixPapaCharlie]

 

[ateamer]

Cranberry juice-white zin.

 

[Llewtrah381]

Fuchsia. This was actually a spelling test.

 

[Mikey52]

What color do you want it to be?

 

[Learnin’ to fly…]

Sitting with my 14 y/o daughter waiting for an appointment. She votes ‘electric coral’.

 

[JOhnH]

I'd call it red. My wife would call it some weird shade of some fruit or something.

 

[islandboy]

I used a bit of tech that came up with "paprika"

Edit: Another source led to classification of "Big Dip O'Ruby", placing it in the dark crimson subspectrum.

 

[Sac Arrow]

Okay, I have a problem. Which two of the three pinks do I select? (To me that's red anyway.)

 

[RyanB]

Looks to be magenta, like the line on the GPS.

 

[Dave Theisen]

The owner is pretty woke.

 

[Beachy]

Certainly magenta.

 

[RyanShort1]

I’m pretty sure, three of them are black.

 

[Charlie Golf]

As a dude, my color identification skills are limited. My wife would say they're non-existent.


* Purple and violet really need to be reversed in that meme.

Fuchsia. This was actually a spelling test.

I was taken out of class in 6th grade because I dyed my hair fuchsia. It was supposed to be purple as that was the football colors. But it didn't work out. Technically I didn't make it to class as I was escorted before class started. They wanted to send me to the junior high school across the street to wash it out. It wasnt that kind of dye.

After a thorough ass chewing and and some remedial student handbook training, I was allowed back to class several periods later.

That's fuchsia.

 

[GeorgeC]

Is this the airplane version of The Dress?

 

[frfly172]

Dark red as opposed to bright red

 

[41tcrate]

I am going with magenta too.

 

[Charlie Golf]

Orange peel.

 

[JOhnH]

Anyone that doesn't say RED is showing their feminine side.

 

[GaryM]

which stripe?

 

[asicer]

I’m pretty sure, three of them are black.

White

@EdFred doesnt follow the magenta line, the magenta line follows him...

Holy crap, EdFred got his plane painted?!?

I was gonna say it's red, because I'm a dude and I don't know all of those fancy colors. But now that I know it's Ed's plane, I'm pretty sure it's pink.

 

[Notrub]

Barbie/ Mrs Piggy pink…a good looking airplane!

 

[WDD]

Then there's Pepto Bismol Pink.....

[EdFred]

The official color is Pantone 1955.

Also, only changed the brown ==> black and tan ==> whatever color you want to call it.
Kept the base, and did some touch up.

Interesting.. It looks maroon on the phone screen. Color is weird.

In all seriousness, it looks great.

In the right light though...

That's just the control stripe; another one appears if it's pregnant.

Also if you look at the N-numbers against the cream, and block out the rest of the colors it looks dark. Against the black it doesn't. But I held the numbers (decals) against the paint and it's exact match. I think this is what's at play here:

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Pantone 1955.

RGB 144,28,59

 

[MauleSkinner]

Desert Pink

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

I think you're right about the illusion. The numbers look red.

From the article, “Living Coral inspires experimentation and playful expression in both men’s and women’s street and runway styles.”

Yup, they nailed @EdFred to a tee!

 

[CaptainXap]

I think it's Cerise.

Fuchsia is slightly pinker, I think.

 

[FORANE]

Desert Pink

That's just wrong.

 

[MauleSkinner]

That's just wrong.

Other than the glossy part, it’s an actual P-40 color.

The P-40s flown by the 57th Fighter Group were painted Sand 26. After sun exposure in the North African desert, the pink pigment became dominant. The 57th flew P-40s over North Africa and Italy from 1942 - 1943.
