Magenta

Magenta (/məˈdʒɛntə/) is variously defined as a purplish-red, reddish-purple, or a mauvish-crimson color. On computer screens, it is made by mixing equal amounts of blue and red. On color wheels of the RGB (additive) and CMYK (subtractive) color models, it is located midway between red and blue. It is the complementary color of green. It is one of the four colors of ink used in color printing and by an inkjet printer, along with cyan, yellow, and black, to make all the other colors. The tone of magenta used in printing is called "printer's magenta" (Magenta (CMYK)).

Magenta was first introduced as the color of a new aniline dye called fuchsine, patented in 1859 by the French chemist François-Emmanuel Verguin. Its name was changed the same year to magenta, to celebrate a victory of the French and Sardinian army at the Battle of Magenta on June 4, 1859, near the Italian town of that name.

The web color magenta is also called fuchsia.

In optics and color science

Magenta is an extra-spectral color, meaning that it is not found in the visible spectrum of light. Rather, it is physiologically and psychologically perceived as the mixture of red and violet/blue light, with the absence of green.

  • The Rocky Horror Show

    The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics and book by Richard O'Brien. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein-style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky Horror, complete "with blond hair and a tan".

    Produced and directed by Jim Sharman, the original London production of the musical premiered at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) on 16 June 1973 before moving to several other locations in London and closing on 13 September 1980, running for a total of 2,960 performances and winning the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Its 1974 debut in the US in Los Angeles had a successful nine-month run but its 1975 Broadway debut at the Belasco Theatre lasted only three previews and forty five showings despite earning one Tony nomination and three Drama Desk nominations. Various international productions have since spanned across six continents as well as West End and Broadway revivals and eight UK tours.

    I Take The Blame

    by: Magenta

    (- A bit unintelligible when the child speaks.)
    Every morning
    Every day's the same
    Spending all the day
    Listening to complaints
    Every evening laying in my bed
    Every night wishing I was dead
    You look at me like I don't care
    You look at me, I wish I'm not here
    You look at me like I don't care
    You look at me, I wish I'm not here
    Every minute, minute of the day
    I watch you, watch you slip away
    (Here we go)
    This is what 12-year-old boy child said to his mother after they had poisoned the child-molesting, wife-beating, alcoholic, son-of-a-bitch, excuse of a father and husband.
    (I take the blame, mommy. Daddy can't hurt us no more. I know you're safe tonight. I can make it through another day.)
    And then the police came.
    And every second, second of my heart
    I pray to God,
    Oh, please don't let this start.
    You look at me like I don't care
    You look at me, I wish I'm not here
    You look at me like I don't care
