Magenta

#ff00ff

Notes

Magenta (#FF00FF) is a true violet with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (300°, 100%, 50%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary green. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. R=B=255, G=0 — the pure magenta primary of the RGB cube. CSS lists this exact hex under both 'magenta' and 'fuchsia' as synonyms; HTML 3.2 (1997) picked 'fuchsia' as the official keyword.
