Pink, orange or salmon? Phoenix SC opens Minecraft's color debate
Ten uploads span the Dappled Forest, jukeboxes and a newly enthusiastic verdict on Brittle Ice.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
This is NOT PINK.
Coral and salmon have plenty of supporters in Phoenix SC's comments. Orange is proving a harder sell. "This is NOT PINK." supplied the biggest audience among his new uploads, reaching roughly 2.7 million views and turning Minecraft grass into a surprisingly involved color discussion.
Viewers propose shades between pink and orange, while others bring up red sand and cyan terracotta as fellow examples of Minecraft's sometimes puzzling color names. It is a very Phoenix SC conversation: a small detail becomes the thing nobody can leave alone.
His ten-upload week ranged from "This Dappled Forest is 6 years late." to "The new Jukeboxes are new." Ice received two turns on the shelf, first with "Ice Caves but better. 🧊❄️" and then "Brittle Ice is an S-Tier block." The latter passed a million views within ten hours and is drawing the channel's strongest daily viewing right now. "Is this joke Dimension ... just the Sift?" also has substantial momentum, keeping the Sift discussion active beyond the earlier Minecraft Live coverage.
Across the channel, daily views are running above their usual level, although the subscriber total stayed unchanged over the week. Nearby in the Minecraft neighborhood, Farzy is also drawing a larger-than-usual daily audience, while DrDonut and FlameFrags are having slower viewing days than normal.
Phoenix's color dispute has an older companion in the archive: "Minecraft bookshelf is sus" remains among his most-watched regular uploads. Apparently, even the furnishings deserve a second look.

Cyan terracotta: Please don't mention me
@haoivan0517See it on YouTubeMaybe they just didn't want red sand to be the only one named after the wrong colour
@DuckieAM-c4bSee it on YouTubeYep, classic case of salmon sitting right in between both colors. It's like brown, it only works with context

🌳🥚@alonk1060See it on YouTubeIt’s definitely not pink but it’s not orange either, it’s like a red-ish color.
@RadiantHesperosSee it on YouTubeIf you take orange and then you darken it it's brown but if you lighten it it does not become that type of pink that's like a flamingo pink mixed in with like the pink you would see on a watermelon ice pop sprinkled in with maybe a little bit of inner rings of like a very very sweet strawberry
