Is this pink magma

g

heres what normal magma looks like

woah, thats cool! i wish i could have pink magma it looks really pretty
does the status have a different colour also?

W game

MODS BAN THEM LIKE YOU DID THE GUY WHO HAD PINK MAGMA

huh what whhy? did i break the rules?

Ever since a guy got banned for “having” pink magma (bug that happened randomly), its been a bit of a meme to just treat it like mentioning it will get you thrown in prison

oh oki. i got scared for a second
thank you for sharing that though

@Mr_hyperspace WHAT DID I TELL YOU

Fake. Photoshop even. This is a psyop by corsair netenyahu to distract us from him skimming paramount bank

Jokes aside this is actually the first image ive seen of it it looks pretty cool

I thought the mod said only dragons could have it though

We may or may not get another incident

Also, why don’t they add a pink lava variant? Pink looks really nice on magma. Like look at this




I hope none of them were oversaturated to look pink though cuz I saw a lot from TikTok and Facebook which I obviously didn’t pick

is this not just a lighting thing
(edit: i guess its not)

Mmm strawberry flavour…

Honestly very spectacular whenever I see them
Its a known bug

Probably not deliberately, nor due to saturation shenanigans alone. There’s a surprisingly fair amount of other things that get it to look pink.

Basically just your typical camera shenanigans in relation to handling and receiving light. Particularly made nasty cause magma/lava release a lot of infrared/near infrared light that will naturally mess with the cameras.

As for the pink coloration in of itself, you wouldn’t be able to find any pink colored magmas in any of the types of magmas themselves on earth. As they straight up do not contain the minerals, elements, and gases required to give a pink coloration in the first place.

But also because it falls under the same line of reasoning as to why there aren’t any green or pink stars out there. Because incandescence doesn’t operate that way, and you’d have to somehow get magma to block out yellows and greens to leave behind only the reds, blues/violets.


tl;dr Camera shenanigans at play and physics make it impossible irl.

Best we can do is sulfur igniting and reacting with the surrounding oxygen to trick you into thinking the magma’s a different color:

So pink lava doesn’t actually exist :frowning:

Genuinely one of my favorite depictions of an element that is just saddening.
