I'm trying to come up with a comparative color, somewhere in the purple-magenta range.

Gosh! that's pretty!

In Neo lingo, they always describe Koyo as red or pink. I don't think I've every seen "purple" or "murasaki" used. I knew there were greater odds of it being this color but I was hoping for a more red hue. Gotta take your chances since they don't come up very often.

I'll have to look into some of the "beni" cultivars.

I think plant seller hucksterism transcends all times and cultures.

Fantastic - I love the rich color

I respectfully disagree in regards to Neos. There are conventions (I hesitate to use the word, "rules") that are apart from AOS that dictate Neo culture. That is probably why there is a distinct heritage associated with them.

Might be a language thing. I rarely see things described as "midori" (green) but often see "ao" (blue) instead. Example in Neos is "aojiku".
