Do people use the word magenta<\/em> anymore? It doesn’t come up that often, but I really felt an Autumn-ish word was required. Since we are scraping the bottom of the barrel on words magenta was the closest I could get. Orange<\/a>, Autumn<\/a> and leaf<\/a> have all been used. Even stem<\/a>, branch<\/a> and tree<\/a> have been used. What’s a girl to do?<\/p>\n

Definition<\/a>: “Magenta<\/b> (ma?gen?ta, \/m??d??nt?\/) is a purplish-red,[1]<\/a><\/sup> purplish-crimson,[2]<\/a><\/sup> or purplish-pink color.[3]<\/a><\/sup> It is a primary color in color printing which, combined with cyan, yellow and black in various combinations, can be used to create all other colors. The name comes from the dye magenta, originally called fuchsine<\/a>, discovered in 1859, and renamed after the 1859 Battle of Magenta<\/a> near Magenta<\/a>, Italy<\/a> where the French army defeated the Austrians and helped secure the unification of Italy.[4]<\/a><\/sup>” (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n

The color magenta<\/em> means universal harmony and emotional balance. It is spiritual yet practical, encouraging common sense and a balanced outlook on life. (Empower Yourself with Color Psychology.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n
