Polling day in Norway

Today thousands of Norwegians will visit their local polling places and give votes for the political party they prefer to lead their communities the next four years. The different parties have at least one color linked to their logo; the Labour´s red, the Liberal´s green and the Conservative´s blue.

My color this Monday is Magenta here represented with the Orchid to the right of my TV-screen.

In the Munsell color system, magenta is called red-purple. In the CMYK color model used in printing, it is one of the primary colors of ink. In the RGB color model, the secondary color created by mixing the red and blue primaries is called magenta or fuchsia, though this color differs in hue from printer’s magenta. (Wikipedia)

Fuchsia

In my paintings I (like van Gogh) often use Magenta. The basic color in this painting of my cottage is Magenta and Turquoice.

Same in this cropped version of a self portrait. The Magenta has only coloristic purposes.

Andy Warhol has also used Magenta in many collections like this version (of 25) of Sam the Cat.

So why this focus on Magenta on the polling day.
The fundamental blue political philosophy linked to the conservative party "Høyre" added up with some social radical  or anarchistic red variations give my choice.
Whatever your choice will be, don´t forget to vote. Your decision will be your way to take active part in the Norwegian democracy.
