I love the colors of your soft magenta and violet/pink Fungias, and the peach blushed Blastos.

I knew a woman who was completely colorblind. She only saw black/white and shades of gray. She was the wife of my Evolution professor in college. He used to say that he wanted to propagate genetic anomalies in the population. His 3 daughters used to tease their mom by saying, "get the red bowl, no the blue one Mom".
