Pinkishmagenta

Pinkishmagenta is not a formally defined color name in major color standards. It is a descriptive term used to refer to hues that lie on the spectrum between pink and magenta. In practice, pinkishmagenta denotes a vivid pinky-magenta color—highly saturated and moderately light, with enough blue–red content to avoid appearing purely pink or dull magenta.

In color space terms, magenta results from red and blue with little green, while pink is achieved by adding white to red; pinkishmagenta sits between these, typically described as high-saturation and lighter-than-pure magenta. In RGB terms, pinkishmagenta would have high red and blue components with low green, and its lightness gives a pinkish tone rather than a dark magenta. In HSL or HSV, it occupies a position near the magenta-pink boundary, commonly cited around 300°–330° on the hue wheel, with high saturation and lightness that yields a bright, vivid appearance.

Because it is not a standardized name, pinkishmagenta is not a named CSS color; designers specify exact values in RGB, HEX, HSL, or CMYK to ensure reproducibility. Applications include branding, fashion, digital art, and user interface design where a bold, energetic impression is desired. The term is most useful as a descriptive cue rather than a precise specification, and communicators should provide exact color values when consistency matters. In practice, pinkishmagenta occupies a vivid region near magenta that can be tuned toward pink by increasing lightness and toward purer magenta by increasing saturation.
