What color is Neon Magenta?
Neon magenta is a blazing, electric pink-red, hex #FF0090, with enough blue in it to push it away from coral and toward a hot fuchsia. It has the saturated brightness of a bougainvillea flower under direct sunlight.
What is the meaning of the color Neon Magenta?
François-Emmanuel Verguin synthesized the dye fuchsine in 1859, which was renamed magenta that same year after the French victory at the Battle of Magenta in northern Italy. The neon variation emerged as fluorescent dyes became commercially available in the mid-20th century, making colors like this one visible under ultraviolet light. By the 1980s, neon magenta had moved into fashion and graphic design, carried by brands such as Versace who used high-voltage pinks as a signature of maximalist design.
