What's your opinion on these shoes?

[Anonymous]

Aren't they super pretty?

[abc3643]

I don't care for square toes. IIRC, that was a big thing in the 1990s or maybe during the Naughts.
They are cute shoes, but they'd be much better with a rounded toe.

[Asker]

What are the Naughts? I need a translator 😂
I personally think pointy toes are the most flattering, as they visually elongate the legs

[abc3643]

"Naughts" are the years 2000-2009.

Other words used for the same thing are "The aughts" and the "noughts" or "noughties".

[Asker]

Oh ok, thanks for explaining

[abc3643]

I like these magenta platform Mary Janes better...

[Asker]

Good taste! They look great
I think this is more of a fuchsia than magenta color though

[Asker]

Very nice shoes
All of them are very pretty

[abc3643]

I would have said fuchsia, but they are marketed as magenta.

Lord knows how I loved fuchsia heels in the 1980s...

[abc3643]

Actually, now that I think about it, Magenta is right.
Fuchsia is (perhaps now) considered darker.
For instance, this work of art:

[abc3643]

The stiletto platform Mary Jane (with or without peeptoe or slingback) - a classic in any decade.

[Asker]

It's beautiful, however how is that fuchsia? I always thought fuchsia is more of a hot pink, whereas magenta is more on the purple side 🤔

[abc3643]

That's a good question.

According to this website, they are the same.
www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html

In RGB, R:255 G:000 B:255

I need to look more into this because there are color standards... Hmmmmm...

This is very annoying that this is no consistent ruling with this stuff.

Thus, I quote the great computer scientist and pundit Andrew S. Tenenbaum who wrote in his textbook "Computer Networks":

"The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. And if you do not
like any of them, just wait a year or two."

[Asker]

Whoa I didn't know this
All this time I called the wrong color fuchsia 😲 Thanks for educating me lol

[abc3643]

Actually, you are not wrong and I didn't really educate us but got us more confused.

In the computing industry, fuchsia = magenta = RGB #FF00FF (R255 G000 B255)
But that's not necessarily "magenta" and "fuchsia" in other industries.

Back in the 1980s, I would have said the heels you pictured were fuchsia.
In the fashion industry of today, I am not so sure.

[abc3643]

One major standard in the color industry is Pantone.
So, whether it be paints for houses or the color of paint on a car or the color of paint on your fingernails, many colors have distinct Pantone color IDs and names.

Here is Fuchsia:
PANTONE 18-2436 TCX
Fuchsia Purple
https://www.pantone.com/uk/en/connect/18-2436-TCX

Here is Magenta:
PANTONE 17-2036 TPX
Magenta
https://www.pantone.com/uk/en/connect/17-2036-TPX

Notice that some of the data is behind a paywall. That's because Pantone is a standard. Companies pay to have access to these standard colors and names because that provides a common basis that everyone who works professionally in colors can agree upon. ... Like my "reddish yellow" and your "yellowish red"... How do we know if we are talking the same color or not? We compare the official Pantone color IDs of our colors...

OK, now, even though Pantone is behind a paywall, Google Color Picker and other tools can help...
Google Color Picker says...

PANTONE 18-2436 TCX (Fuchsia Purple) is R211, G052, B121


PANTONE 17-2036 TPX (Magenta) is R208, G065, B126


So, they ARE close to each other, but neither is the computer industry magenta/fuchsia of
R255 G000 B255.

[abc3643]

To make matters even more fun, Pantone also has Fuchsia Rose...
https://www.pantone.com/connect/17-2031-TPX
PANTONE 17-2031 TPX
Fuchsia Rose
which is
R195, G068, B122

[Andres77]

Too "spotlight" for me.
These could cause accidents.
Nope.
🤨

[Asker]

I like the color, but they're a bit too chunky and don't know how comfortable they are

[Flower7]

They’re pretty but I personally wouldn’t wear them because the heel is too high for my preference.

[DamnSam]

Nice colour but a poor design, but maybe just my preference/view

[helva]

Fun to see, impossible to wear for me.

[Asker]

Yeah, they do look a bit uncomfortable

[In_Trance]

Whatever works for you

[Asker]

Yes, I'm asking what do you think

[In_Trance]

Not a fan

[Asker]

What do you dislike about them? Are they too chunky?

[In_Trance]

Not a fan of heels. Flats are much more attractive

[Asker]

I do prefer sneakers too, maybe with a small 1 inch platform, or sandals in the summer. Anyway, thank you for commenting

[Princess_shruti]

its super cute i like it,...

[XXblack88]

Wow those are some very bright pink shoes

[NorthwestRider]

Very fun bright heels

[Anonymous]

They're just okay

[Asker]

What don't you like about them

[Opinion Owner]

Odd looking heels

[Ringstretch]

Love the color

[Abdulwahh]

Not in my view
