On color wheels of the RGB and CMYK color models, it is located exactly midway between red and blue.
It is one of the four colors of ink used in color printing, along with yellow, cyan, and black.
Magenta is not a spectral color, meaning that it is not a hue associated with monochromatic visible light.
Magenta is an extra-spectral color, meaning that it is associated with perception of spectral power distributions concentrated mostly in two bands: longer wavelength reddish components and shorter wavelength blueish components.
