What is Magenta Color?

Magenta is a vibrant, purplish-red color that sits between red and blue on the color wheel. It's one of the primary colors in the CMYK color model used in printing. Interestingly, magenta doesn't have its own wavelength in the visible spectrum - it's what our brains perceive when we see both red and blue light without green.
