 * If it's one way to call "purple/violet", I don't think it's necessarily SoP., can you confirm? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 19:07, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Justinrleung I think this term does exist, but I think it's more of a light purple/lavender shade. I'm positive there's an episode of 我爱闽南语 online where 王建设 briefly explains this term, and if I'm not mistaken, the characters should be 芋水色, not 湖水色. Kamkamkamuti (talk) 05:29, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Kamkamkamuti Just wondering, any chance @philippinehokkien in IG is actually you? lol :) Mlgc1998 (talk) 22:41, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Justinrleung yeah, I saw before @Kamkamkamuti's thoughts on this, I made another page for 芋水色, cuz I asked around if this term exists, which the ones I asked did recognize it as "purple/violet", but upon confirming their pronunciation of the first character, they said it more like as " ō͘ " than " ô͘ ", then when I made them write the character they were thinking of, they wrote down "芋" and didn't recognize "湖" when I showed that to them. It seems the concept is similar to how local ph languages like Tagalog calls "purple/violet" with ube ("purple yam") / kulay ube (yam color), but referring specifically to the juice.

 * Thanks for your responses. In that case, I'm not sure if 湖水色 should still be there as an alternative form because it seems to be a mistake. Pinging for thoughts as well in case the ping was missed last time. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 23:34, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest placing the entry in 芋水色 for Philippine Hokkien, with the correct romanization, with the definition like "violet" or "purple", we don't really differentiate that. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 06:09, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * "We don't really differentiate that" - did you mean differentiating between "purple" and "violet" or between "light purple/lavendar" and other kinds of purple? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Between "purple" and "violet". I guess based on the etymology of the word, it would imply a lighter purple color, but in usage, it's pretty much any purple/purplish color. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 22:14, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! In that case, I've put back the original definition and speedied 湖水色 as a mistake. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 22:19, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
