Magenta: The colour that doesn't exist - BBC REEL 

BBB: Magenta isn't real Me: Magenta is my favorite color

And yet, one of my favorite colors

Well, you learn new things every day! I will go to bed more informed tonight than when I got up this morning ...

Magnificent! This is the best channel for learning English + I learn something new every day🤩

Just because magenta is social construct of our minds, does not mean that it doesn't exist. In fact, the whole construct of mind is the very prove of its existence.

Nice blend of science and fairy tales.

great viz from great brit! expect more like this

Interestingly enough it should have a wavelength. It's a combined one but so too are orange and yellow and they have known wavelengths as they are a mix of red and green though orange has less green. Magenta is red and blue and pink is red with some green and blue. Pink has a portion of the blue of purple replaced with green and will appear longer or brighter than magenta. Also light blue light is white with a bit of red and green taken out giving it more of a whitish wavelength so you can also make longer and warm blues. Same with gray but since it's all three colors somewhat dimmed it will be dimmer than white but a light silver could still be almost as bright yet alone prettier but a dark gray would be very short as it goes nearer black which is nothing or very little reflected. Midnight blue would be a very dim color. Purples and Greys and greens can vary a lot

Hold on, if magenta doesn't exist, then how come magenta things exist (like roses, pigments, and anything else)?

No colour actually exists.

There’s trillions of colors in the invisible spectrum… including magenta. It’s called the ultra-violet spectrum.

*Decade is pissed

This is silly! Pink, beige, brown, black, white and other colours mixed with either white or black also aren't on the rainbow.

Given how much you spent on the graphics, I'm surprised you didn't spend more time on your research. There are other extra spectral colours. The most obvious being purple.

magenta : A source that emits or reflects BOTH 700nm red lght and 450 nm blue is perceived by humans as as magenta. As far a human eyesight is concerned, some people see IR light which has a greater wave length than Red light... most others can NOT perceive IR light . I agree with ArtistBervucci below. How can the word "exist" apply to the reaction of one's sense of sight, or hearing or touch? Does human reaction to the color magenta from a rotting, dead body and the red of a beautiful flower DIFFER ?

Then what is the wavelength of purple we can see purple so what is the wavelength of purple we can Also see pink so what is the wavelength of pink to isn't pink just a light shade of red so we can see pink but not magenta🤔🤔🤔

Prisms only creates a linear spectrum of separated light and if you mixed one end with the other then you get magenta, with the colours of red and blue. The brain doesn’t just make up the colour, nature produces it, like with any other colour and to think it does is just very silly and you shouldn’t teach such things as fact. If you worked in a photography laboratory in the past you would have quickly been sacked, if you believed in such things, as you wouldn't know how to use the kit. In old school photography and photographic printing plus in TV, we used two different triads of the true light spectrum and not one just separated by triangular shaped glass. In the old TV sets, we had red, green and blue guns and which when mixed correctly, could make any other colour. With yellow being made from the red and green guns and which was used due to being pure light and so, there was no matter pigment distorting the pure yellow colour and so also proving, there is no such thing as a primary colour. In photography we had to use cyan, magenta and yellow and which when mixed correctly could also make any colour. This triad was used due to the medium having to use pigments and which distorts the colour and so when mixing red and green, will give you brown and which is nothing more than a dirt yellow. To make red, we use magenta and yellow. To make blue we use magenta and cyan and to make green we use yellow and cyan. With the different two triads when viewed together as a spectrum, giving one of the esoteric meanings of the six-pointed star and its Electromagnetic Spectrum roots.

Brown is another one.

All colors doesn’t exist.

1:29 our ancestors DID NOT live in the sea!😂. We did not "evolve" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

How dare you😢

0:10 I also don't see any brown

Crap I saw blue an purple 🟣 in my vision than we had solar flares what does this mean?

Well, I can't understand one thing why would BBC (state owned entity) puts so much money and effort into this media projects when they can't compete with Germany on innovation side? Or did I miss something?

By this logic none of the colors exist because color is just how the brain percieves electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 400nm and 700nm hitting your eye. There is nothing about say, 530nm EM radiation that is inherently green. It''s just how most of us perceive that wavelength. Some of us don't perceive it as green. Others perceive it slightly less "green" than most people. Color blindness comes in many forms. And that's not the only way color vision can be altered. Reality is just a world your brain builds up from all of the stimulus it recieves, like color. Technically, we don't even see in 3D. We need a second eye and some trickery to give any sense of 3D to what we see. And that sense is completely false. Our brains just create the illusion of depth so seamlessly that we almost don't even notice when it's gone when we have one eye closed.

nice, expect the part with evolution which is pure speculation.

Magenta is fake because it’s not in the spectrum Me: Pink white and periwinkle aren’t in the spectrum either does that mean their fake too😅😜🤣😅😅😅

Technically all colours aren't "real", they are experiences in the brain that Jesus made sentient or conscious. It is that ability to experience things directly that really sets us apart instead of mere machines with sensors in deep dreamless sleep and is proof of God. That aside, a lot of colours are composite - made of mixtures of wavelengths. Grey and white for example, but also brown, although you could make it with dim orange light. It's just that because blue and green are right next to each other, and also red and green are fairly near, you can get the colours inbetween stimulating both receptor cells in differing degrees. Red and blue are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and thus there is no magenta halfway between the transition. Probably the closest colour you can make with one wavelength is violet, but it's far more bluey than magenta.

So the city I’m from doesn’t exist?

Well I am going to cause a stir. White light does not exist either, it is a combination of Blue, Green and Red light in equal proportions. The same for yellow (red+green, yeah difficult to believe) and cyan (blue+ green easier to imagine). Remember we are dealing here with LIGHT not pigments. Combine bue + green + red paint and you will not get white but rather a dirty brown.

Now explain why orange doesn't exist.

Magenta makes sense that it's the odd one because it's the gayest color there is.

If you really examined the complexity of the eye you would realize it's no 'accident' of evolution.

What a bs in the way of explanation and nothing new

Bbc is notoriously politically notorious. Whixh means.. BBC as we know it, will cease to exist

Magenta doesn’t exist? Ridiculous. It’s purple with less than 100% saturation. Who comes up with these ridiculous ideas?

This is all rubbish
