Magenta is a purplish-red color. It is considered a dark pink or tint of pink.

In the HSV (RGB) color wheel, magenta is a secondary color, made using red and blue. Magenta has the same hue as colors such as pink, but the saturation and value is different.

Magenta is one of three colors used by an inkjet printer, along with cyan and yellow. These three primary colors are used to make the other colors. The tone of magenta used in printing is called "printer's magenta" (Magenta (CMYK)).

The first written use of magenta as a color name in English was in 1860.^[1] Another name for magenta is fuchsia, named after the fuchsia flower.
