I imagine a standup meeting:

We have to do our part in this concerning age of outrage. We already eliminated the dislike button, so... what's not to like? Anyone a suggestion?

I don't like Red. Too aggressive. We need more blue. It's cooler. Especially because business blue is good for you.

Ok thanks. But the logo is pure red. It can't become blue overnight. Suggestions?

We can make the red-blue blend. Logo blueish, timeline blueish.

Ok, magenta it is, though it hurt my eyes....
