Magenta
Magenta is a widely critisized colour for its pure brightness. It can irritate anyone's eyes, even the eyes of people who constantly stare at solid colours so much that their eyes become used to it. The only positive is that it's one of four printer colours, alongside yellow, cyan, and black, and it doesn't run out as much as cyan.

"What the fuck is a 'magenta'? Why not, say, fuchsia?"
How do you think the Italian town of the same name would feel if there was a bloody war fought right where they were and they got no honour for it?
"OF COURSE IT'S ITALY! They really like fame, it seems."
They're also known for their olives and grapes.
"I can let those slide, as the colours weren't directly named after Italy. But Magenta? That's too far, pal."
Say what you want to say, but just know Magenta is one of the most popular names for this colour.
"What worse could possibly happen?"
Oh, some people call it Pink.
...
And purple.
"OK, now I can respect the Italians. Why in hell or heaven would someone call it PURPLE!? You know what, just go on with this."
Thank you. You got us off-track.
Applications[edit | edit source]
One of the applications is one I mentioned before: printers. Printers are known for not cooperating. Magenta is one of the fastest ink cartridges to run out. Only cyan beats Magenta in that matter. Another application is in paint. Out of all paint colours up to tertiary, Magenta is "the last one" in the cycle. The only reason this works is because some random dudes decided Red was at the beginning because it was at the beginning of the light spectrum. This is also why when you start at a hue of 0, you get red. However, we have gotten off-track AGAIN.
"Seems like it's a YOU proble-"
STFU!!!!!!
