Defrumpifying or mid life crisis... should I dye my hair pink?

Feeling fed up as body is unrecognisable after having my DC. Youngest is nearly six months so am coming out of the fog and started on a diet exercise routine. This evening have had sudden urge to dye my (increasingly grey) hair a nice dark magenta. Have only ever used semi permanent before with extremely subtle effect as I'm naturally dark. I'd probably have to dye it back to natural when back to work in 6 months time. So, as a total novice, a few questions:
Is magenta hair just a terrible idea on a chubby nearly 40 year old?
Could I do it myself out of a packet or would it really take a salon trip?
How much of a problem would dying it back be?
Also I last used semi permanent about 6 weeks ago, so would I have to wait?
Please advise or talk me out of it if it's a big mistake! Fwiw this is my last time off work til retirement so of not now it will probably have to be when I'm 70!
