Magenta is a vivid color that's a mix of red and blue. It tends to be represented as a pure, bright, and bold hue. On color wheels, magenta is usually positioned directly between red and blue, making it one of the primary colors in the additive color model used in digital displays and light-related contexts.
In the context of the RGB color model (used for screens), magenta is created by combining the maximum intensity of red light and blue light, with no green light. The RGB values for pure magenta are (255, 0, 255), where 255 is the maximum value for each color component.
In print and other subtractive color systems, such as CMYK (used for printing), magenta is one of the primary colors of ink, typically represented as a rich, dark pinkish-purple hue. The CMYK values for magenta can vary depending on the specific formula used, but a common representation is high values in both Magenta (M) and Cyan (C), with little or no Yellow (Y) and Key (Black, K).
Here's a conceptual representation of magenta:
