In culture 

In art 

Since the mid-1960s, water based fluorescent magenta paint has been available to paint psychedelic black light paintings. (Fluorescent cerise, fluorescent chartreuse yellow, fluorescent blue, and fluorescent green.)

• By the early 1960s, vivid colors in the magenta range became available, and as a result many become aware that magenta, yellow, and cyan make better primary pigments than red, blue, and yellow (although this information had been discovered by printers in the 19th century; magenta, cyan, and yellow have been in continuous use as the primary colors in printing since the late 19th century).

In astronomy

Astronomers have reported that spectral class T brown dwarfs (the ones with the coolest temperatures except for the recently discovered Y brown dwarfs) are colored magenta because of absorption by sodium and potassium atoms of light in the green portion of the spectrum

In parapsychology

To psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye, someone who has a magenta aura is usually described as being artisticand creative. It is reported that typical occupations for someone with a magenta aura would be such professions as artist, art dealer, actor, author, costume designer, or set designer

In politics 

The color magenta is used to symbolize anti-racism by the Amsterdam-based anti-racism Magenta Foundation
