Aren’t Apple OS’s with names like Greenland Shark and Wildebeest bad enough?

My guess is that the original name was “Red.”
There were some bells and whistles that were called “White.”
A team threaded the code together and called it “Pink.”
There were some other bells and whistles called “Blue.”
A different team threaded that code together and that became “Purple.”
Now it’s time to mesh “Pink” and “Purple” to get “fuchsia.”
