Magenta light is created when you mix blue and red light together. It is a secondary additive light colour.

You 'see' magenta when all the other wavelengths of colour are absorbed into a surface, and red and blue are reflected to your eye.

 We often see magenta light at sunset and sunrise.

A mixture of blue and red light will create magenta light

Secondary light colours are cyan, magenta and yellow light beams.

If equal proportions of these colours are added then white light is seen.

When it is flooded with magenta light only the blue and red light are reflected to the eye. It becomes one with the magenta background. The smooth surfaces reflect more light. It looks and feels so different!

When magenta light floods dark surfaces a warm feeling is evoked.
