What Is the Wavelength of Magenta?
I was always confused about Magenta - Where is it on the EM-spectrum? The answer - It isn't!, it's a psychological trick, created by human minds to join the opposite ends of the visible spectrum. It seems our brains really do think of color as a wheel not a spectrum.
