Magenta

[fyonn]

Apparently it doesn't exist

what do people think? I can see what they're saying, and it leads me down the often wondered path of wonder if what I "see" as red, is what anyone else "sees" as red.

As the general manager of a medium sized printing firm for 3 years, I ordered enough tins of magenta ink for the 3 4-colour presses to say there is such a thing! I saw the invoices!

So, from the above

Magenta is a colour but if you split white light it's not a colour that features in that spectrum

Ok. I find that if I look through one eye, and then look at the same thing using the other eye the colours are slightly different. Do you find that? Another example of what happens of an evening when you don't have your wii. :shrug:

ps Magenta is a lush colour

I just took great pleasure in telling my wife there's no such colour as pink. And I'm going to love telling the girls at work even more. MUAH HA HA HA HA HA!

So if I put a magenta coloured sheet infront of a light, what would happen? would it turn things into the non-existant magenta? or would the world blow up?

Confusing stuff this... - no wonder I failed physics

You'd break the universe. It's similar to typing google into google.

Its convieniently placed in the black part of that spectrum.

In between Red and Violet, you'd see it if you joined the ends up.
