Magenta. It's fake. Not real. A phoney.

It's a combination of two colors masquerading as a real colour. If we ignore the fact that pretty much all screens display combinations of only 3 colors, magenta is the only "color" that does not appear on the visual spectrum. This is because it is actually an illusion in our minds produced by wavelengths on both ends of the visible spectrum.

It's a fraud and I won't have it.
