Again, I refer to sites like Bloomberg Business, on which they has an identical colour palette like ours, and are able to have a presentable design; while keeping it fresh for 5 years onwards. The only difference regarding here is that the general wiki look had to compromise with the community because users here complained it was "too bright".

I just took a look at the site. The shade they are using is a blue-purple and it is actually not as bright as this blue, it's considerably darker. I refered to the color wheel to make sure and I also made a side by side comparison.

Okay, minus the argument above if you still disagree. The placement of color matters as much as the color itself. If you are using said color, where will you place it? Bloomberg used this very attractive purple but only in small amounts. Most of it is white. The colours we use and what Bloomberg uses if not very close, execution is a tad different because of requests; would be almost the same on broadcast I think
