[FEEDBACK] GMK Magnolia

GMK MAGNOLIA

Hey!
I'm a fairly new keycap designer and tried this as my 4th concept. It is inspired by the beautiful flowers of the Magnolia tree. Here's my base set concept.
Any feedback is appreciated!

Base set



Colors

Alphas & Mod-Legends     Alpha-Legends               Accents                         Mods

Too bad, because European lilac exists often these three colours, so it would have been fitting. (At least, I expect to see those three blooming around in my neighbourhood in a few weeks)

With Hiragana sublegends, maybe a Japanese name would be fitting?
Lilac (tree) = "Rairakku" or "Hashidoi", with the latter maybe more associated with the indigenous variety which however does have yellowish flowers. Therefore "Hashidoi" might not be as fitting.
However, "purple lilac" = "murasaki no rairakku" or "murasaki no hashidoi".

Therefore, my suggestion would be "GMK Murasaki" ... unless that is also already taken.

Murasaki sounds pretty nice to me, it just means purple right? I would consider Rairakku too tho... Imma have to think about the name a bit more. Thank you for the suggestions!

Wisteria could be a nice name too. Are the alphas white or pale purple?

Wisteria is taken too sadly, the alphas are light pink-ish, just like the background. I'm gon add the colors soon.

was confused b/c I live in the Southern US where magnolias are prevalent.  I have 2 in my yard.  This made no sense to me.  But TIL the Japanese magnolia (what we call a tulip tree here) has these colors.
