> Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System)

Pink [1] and Purple [2] were both Apple codenames for operating systems. Probably not a coincidence, but I don't see an obvious connection...

Purple - A system with high performance graphics, low-latency input, and a beautiful UI.

Pink - An incredibly modular system for developers and users.

If you hang out on #fuchsia long enough you will realize that we are all a bunch of OS nerds that have worked on many, many systems in the past (BeOS, ChromeOS, Android, webOS, QNX, DangerOS, iOS, MacOS, ...).
