Magenta is not pink, stupid

Pink is for little girls, I would never use such a stupid colour. But magenta is something completely different, and one of my favourites!
Actually, no matter what you choose to call it, pink is a really versatile colour. It is warm like red, fresh like lime and generally easier to read than yellow. It’s been slightly overused lately, during the web 2.0 peak, but not as much as lime or cyan. I’m currently using it for my links, to pimp my otherwise minimalistic design.

Some linguistics: Pink is called rosa in swedish, italian, spanish and german and the french calls it rose. The finns choose to call it vaaleanpunainen.
