Color of the Week - Magenta

This week's color is Magenta - a gorgeous hot pink color perfect for sunny summer days!

Tame this bright color with neutrals or pastel colors, or add another highly saturated color to your color scheme to really celebrate flamboyant fun!



Fun facts about Magenta:

1. 
Magenta was created as a complement to green for color printing processes in the late 1800s, and is one of the three primary colors (with yellow and cyan) still used in the color printing process today.

2. The color was named after the Battle of Magenta, fought in the town of Magenta in northern Italy during the Second Italian War of Independence in 1859.

3. To psychics who claim to be able to observe auras with their third eye, someone who has a magenta aura is usually described as being artistic and creative.
