Psychology

Magenta at medium lightness is one of the most assertive hues — it demands attention and resists blending into backgrounds.

History

Fuchsine and its relatives, the first aniline dyes, triggered a Victorian fashion craze for bright synthetic colours that natural dyes could never match.
