The purple tint can be shifted to blue in Lightroom—that's what I usually do)

Hello. I like this shade - it adds artistry - so I didn't correct the magenta after all. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Everyone has their own perception of color) what seems bright to one person seems dark to another, what seems oversaturated to someone seems faded to another. My wife can't perceive transitions of certain shades or the shades themselves) so it's all subjective
