About Magenta Screen Tool

Magenta is a secondary color created by combining red and blue light. It's a vibrant, eye-catching color that doesn't exist on the visible light spectrum - it's created by our brain combining red and blue wavelengths. A magenta screen is excellent for color testing, creative lighting, and artistic applications. Our tool offers shades from light magenta to deep dark magenta. For comprehensive display testing, also try our Screen Bleeding Test and Refresh Rate Tester.
