colourlovers.com — Are you tired of the other kids at Summer Color Camp laughing at you because you thought chartreuse was a shade of pink? Still having nightmares about the time you called a Salmon colored dress Mauve? With our help you?ll never call Azure, Aquamarine again and will be name dropping colors like they?re hot potatoes.

Do you also have a link to the Coral in a dress on the floor?

Agreed. Cyan is 100 0 0 0, and also called Process Blue. I remember this bright aqua color being called cyan on old computers, like on the Commodore 64 color palette. I guess we are looking at two different definitions of "the opposite of red"; i.e., in pigments (subtractive), "process cyan" absorbs red light, whereas on screen (additive), "electric cyan" sets Red phosphors to 0, emitting only 100% of Blue and Green. I've never heard a graphic designer refer to that bright aqua color as Cyan, but i guess engineers, web-only designers, and maybe video people might. c.f. wkipedia.... On a more subjective note, I'll also take issue with fuchsia: it should be darker, and more saturated, like a dark magenta, like the flower named fuschsia.
