The paint gave off a red appearance, prompting a strong reaction from viewers who likened it to a “murder scene.”

“Why the red paint?” someone asked, admitting their confusion.

Another person chimed in, noting that the color appeared to be a bit too similar to blood.

The mother clarified in the comments section of the video that the paint’s color was magenta pink, and it turned out to be exactly as she had envisioned.

In addition, she explained her reasoning for involving her children in the gender reveal. “My daughters absolutely adore painting and it’s something they really enjoy,”she mentioned. “Including them in the reveal was a way to make them feel included and it also resulted in some amazing photos.”

Although not all of the comments were negative, many users congratulated Major Keyes on the news of their growing family. In fact, one user even defended the paint color, stating, “I find this to be a heartwarming gesture and anyone who disagrees needs to have their vision examined.”
