THE MAGENTAS

Magenta colors

Magentas are vivid purple-reds and rarely exist in nature. There are 76 named magentas across eight shades, most of them vivid, and every one of them reads warm. They ask a lot of a press, though: 46 of the 76 shift further in CMYK than a print run can hold.

Of the 16.8 million colors in sRGB, 76 magentas carry a name. The ones in the lists designers and developers reach for.
