As part of an initiative to prune entries inList of colors: A–F,List of colors: G–M, andList of colors: N–Z, one entry I reviewed, "African violet " is linked to this page. While this page has an entry, and a supporting reference, I note that if you use thePantone color finder and search for African violet, the query will return four colors
Which are very similar but not identical. A diligent editor may wish to explain which one was chosen for the article and why, and add some commentary about the existence of alternative attributes for the same named color.--S Philbrick(Talk)18:06, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk)20:19, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The color shown at the top of this article is based on the HTML/CSS color names, but in this case it's definitely not violet, it doesn't even meet any definition of it. I believe that we can all agree that it's much closer to a shade of pink. I understand that the W3C colors are the ones that the English Wikipedia uses as standard, but in this case I find it nonsense. We should form a consensus on the shade of violet that should be shown as the "standard" one (at the top of the article). I propose that it could be the violet that is halfway between blue and magenta in sRGB (#8000FF), which is a common definition of the color.8-leaf clover (talk)00:37, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
