Magenta is one of a group of non-spectral colors . Purple of the ancients is a natural standard for it, such a color can be obtained by mixing blue (or purple ) color with red (see illustration).

Refinement of Magenta Definitions
In colorimetry , purple refers to the gamut of colors obtained by mixing red with blue or violet [1] . In CMYK, purple is called a color that is more accurately determined by the name of the magenta (in English, magenta , or rather, one of the standardized shades from the group “shades of the color of the magenta”, see also psychology of color perception .) Purple corresponds to the shade 200 in the MS Windows color system . In the system, red-green-blue magenta is a 2nd-order color (between red and blue). In the color wheel, red-yellow-blue saturated magenta is generally absent, since it is a non-spectral color, although there may be its unsaturated shades obtained by mixing red, blue and violet. On the color triangle or color wheel, purple shades take the place between red and purple [2] .
Sometimes purple is defined as a color complementary to green [3] and is considered as red (dark red or bright red) with a purple hue [4]
Interlanguage correspondence:
| English | Russian |
| violet | purple like color |
| purple | purple as part of the spectrum, or a specific shade of purple closer to the red part of the spectrum |
| purple | magenta only in context when it comes to a specific color similar to the color of magenta |
| magenta | purple (as the central part of non-spectral hues) |
| dark magenta | purple, purple (a mixture of spectral hues) |
| amaranth | lilac, amaranth, crimson (a mixture of spectral shades) |
Shades of purple can also be obtained by mixing blue and red spectra with the superiority of blue (as happens on monitors). In this case, the spectral violet color will be obtained by the non-spectral method (without using radiation of its own spectral frequency). Purple colors (magenta, red-violet, crimson) can only be obtained by this method, since their relative frequencies (wavelengths) lie outside the visible spectrum.
Magenta is sometimes considered pink or purple.
Magenta Swatches and Patterns
- Antique purple is a murexide substance. .
- Magenta is one of the standard colors of the CMYK system (additional to green ).
History and Ethnography

Other historical and literary associations
- In the 19th century, Perkin synthesized the dye mauvein (mauve) from coal tar pitch ( photogen ). It quickly became very popular and stimulated the development of the industry of aniline dyes, first in Germany (Perkin worked in England), and then around the world.
