Understanding the Color Magenta

The Strange Case of Magenta

by Miles Mathis
First published January 28, 2023

I have already hit this in my paper on antiphotonic color, but I am going to try to pull the case of
magenta and simplify it here. In previous papers, we have seen that the color magenta is special. That
is partially known by the mainstream, since it has long been recognized that magenta is the only major
color (from the color wheels) that is not prismatic. In other words, it is not on Newton's list, is not in
the rainbow, and isn't seen when sunlight or white light is split by a prism. Magenta is now referred to
as a “non-spectral” or “extra-spectral” color, and it is the only color that is non-spectral. I would add to
that and say that it is extra-special.

We have also seen the terrible misdirection we have gotten from the mainstream on magenta, the most
highly promoted example now at Bing being this one from [Link]. There we are told magenta
doesn't really exist, having no wavelength, and being created by your mind as an average of the two far
ends of the visible spectrum. That makes no sense on any level, since in no other case does the mind
average colors that aren't next to eachother.

But we saw that magenta is even more special than that. If you look at this black print coming out of
your computer screen through a prism pointed up, it is split three ways: yellow, magenta, cyan. Yellow
is bent up into a ghost, cyan is bent down, but magenta is not bent at all. The print just turns magenta.

No one has ever discovered why that is, or before me ever even wondered why that is. It was not seen
as a problem and I am not aware that it was even known. But I have long seen it as very curious, and
stated so in those papers from years ago. I am now ready to look at it again.

We have seen that the prism works by focusing the charge field, sort of like a transparent pyramid.
Since the photons of different colors have different energies, the charge field inside the glass works on
them in different amounts. Since the prism is recycling the ambient charge field of the Earth, which is
rising straight up, charge inside the pyramid is also rising. But it is rising at a different rate than in the
air outside the pyramid. This is what causes the split.

If you study the mainstream illustration under title, you will see that we get a similar split there, with
yellow above cyan (blue). But in between we get green, not magenta. This is also known, since
magenta has been called a twin of green, they both having the same or a similar energy.

So why do we see this print turn magenta instead of green? Well, that is also easy: it is because your
computer screen builds black from CMY, not CGY. The black print doesn't contain green, so it can't
be split into it. The prism resplits it into CMY. But that still doesn't explain why magenta nestles into
that spot normally filled by green on the spectrum, or why white light splits into green instead of
magenta.

The only possible answer is that magenta is unlike all the other colors in some basic way. It can only
be that the prismatic colors are all photonic, spinning left, say, so that when they pass through a prism
they are split in the same way, in the same direction. But magenta isn't, because it is antiphotonic,
spinning right.

You will say, if that is so, then we should see magenta bent off the other direction, in a band separate
from the prismatic colors. Yes, we would, except that white light on Earth doesn't contain magenta
to start with. Antiphotons can't travel with photons that way, because antiphotons jostle with photons
in a disruptive manner, spinning the antiphotons down to much smaller wavelengths which are sub-
visible. The light field in the vicinity of the Earth is twice as rich in photons as antiphotons as a
baseline, but the two generally split between here and the Sun, traveling to opposite poles. They don't
travel together. That is the light that is recycled through the Earth, mostly as charge. But the light that
avoids the polar vortices and comes to the Earth directly as visible light and heat interacts strongly
between here and the Sun. The 1/3rd antiphotons in that light doesn't get destroyed, but it does get spun
down. So very little magenta light gets here. Therefore, the only way to create true magenta is to do it
on purpose, having it emitted fresh from some chemical process.

You will say, if that is true, then why isn't magenta destroyed in coming to your eyes? Because it only
has to pass a few feet to do so, and doesn't have time to interact with the photons around it. But my
guess is that true magenta would be found to be far more fleeting that other colors, in that regard. I
predict that magenta sent long distances on the Earth would degrade.

Notice that if mainstream theory were right, as at [Link], your computer should be able to fool
you in many situations by substituting green for magenta. If your brain were making up colors and
reading green as magenta as an average in certain situations, that would be very easy to prove in
experiments, but it isn't happening.

One way this problem is buried is that magenta is often composed of red and blue, rather than being a
base color itself. For CMY to make any sense, magenta should be a primary. You can't build yellow
out of any other colors, can you? So you shouldn't be able to build magenta out of red and blue. If you
combine red and blue, you are technically getting some shade of violet or purple, not magenta. For
instance, that article at [Link] admits magenta is listed as RGB 255-0-255. That can't work,
because it is circular. You can't create magenta from red and blue because red and blue are already
composed from magenta. Red is magenta plus yellow, and blue is magenta plus cyan. You should get
magenta from red and blue only by an additive process, but 255-0-255 is a mixing process, which isn't
additive. It is like mixing paints, which is a so-called subtractive process. So although magenta looks
similar to certain shades of violet, it logically cannot be the same. The confusion has been longstanding
and fatal to any real understanding of color theory. Which is why it required an artist to dig it out at
last.

I will also point this out: that purple/violet color they are making from red and blue and calling
magenta DOES have a measurable wavelength, because all purples and violets do have wavelengths.
The color 255-0-255 does have a wavelength, so if they tell it doesn't, they are just lying. And the
wavelength of 255-0-255 isn't the same as green. It is smaller than blue, putting in the violet slot.
Only true magenta has a wavelength similar to green, since it is basically antiphotonic green. Magenta
is upside-down green.

For this reason, I have always thought the two processes are misnamed. They should switch the titles
of additive and subtractive, because in photon mechanics, CMY is additive and RBG is subtractive.
When you mix RGB together in an “additive” process, the magenta in red is knocking the cyan out of
green, leaving you with the yellow in both. This knockout is caused physically by magenta spinning
opposite to cyan. This knockout is also a subtraction, obviously: magenta and cyan are cancelling
spins, so you have a subtraction. When you add blue to the remaining yellow, you get white light,
because blue already contains magenta again and cyan again, giving you the full trio. Conversely,
CMY is actually additive, because there we are dealing with real primaries being brought together.

You will say, then why doesn't magenta cancel cyan in CMY, leaving us with yellow? Because that
process doesn't physically work like the RGB process, which uses a white reflective screen. In that
case, the colors travel back to your eye from the screen, and it is during that traveling that magenta
cancels cyan. But the CMY process is like superimposing colored films, and in that case the photons
aren't traveling to your eye together. So they can't jostle and therefore can't cancel. Basically, CMY
takes place in your eye, as responses are stacked on your retina. It doesn't take place in the air, as
photons travel to your eye.

The subtractive process was named for the way the colors are created by passing light through
absorbing media, which subtracts all colors but the desired one. But as a matter of light theory, the
process of creating the color isn't very interesting to us. As a matter of photon mechanics, we are
interested in how the colors of light re-combine in the air or eye. As I am showing you, this process
should be called additive, because no photons are being knocked out or cancelled. They are being
added by responses in the eye. These responses prove that magenta really exists and the eye is
responding to it differently than green. The eye is not creating it to fill a slot, so the eye must have
receptors for magenta. The problem is, these receptors are being mistaken for green receptors, and you
can see why they would be: they are responding to the same energy photons, the only difference being
a spin difference. But physiologists haven't yet understood that the eye can differentiate spin, so of
course they haven't looked for it. You don't find what you don't look for.

All that said, it appears the brain can be fooled, or fool itself, into accepting a fake magenta for a real
one in many cases. Since violet and magenta don't have similar wavelengths, you wouldn't think they
would trigger the same receptors in the eye, and wouldn't create blue in the same way. But the brain
seems to understand that they “look” the same regardless of wavelength or spin, and goes ahead and
builds the required blue in many cases. More work needs to be done on that.

It is curious that the brain would assign the same color to both, but it is possible that there are only so
many possible colors, and that the brain was forced to start doubling up. As I have said before, I think
it is probable that there is a whole spectrum of antiphotonic colors, with an antiphotonic yellow and an
antiphotonic cyan at the least. They have so far hidden in nature, but we could isolate them if we really
wanted to. The question then becomes why magenta is more obvious than the other antiphotonic
colors. There is lot left to unwind here. To start with, we need an anti-blue and an anti-red. So anti-
red is probably a cyan clone, and anti-blue a yellow clone.

Now that we have all that under our belts, let's return to the question of why magenta isn't bent by the
prism in this situation. If magenta is spinning opposite yellow and cyan, shouldn't yellow and cyan
move one way and magenta the other? That's the natural first guess, but as we have seen, it isn't that
simple. As we see in the diagram under title, it isn't that yellow is being bent up and cyan down, it is
that yellow rises more in the prism. Magenta rises about the same as green, so it fits in between yellow
and cyan, only seeming to be unaffected by the prism. But again, you will say, “shouldn't magenta fall
in the prism rather than rise? Isn't spin involved in this reaction?” Obviously not, because if it were,
all the colors would be spun up as they moved through, being a different color coming out. But the
charge field in the prism isn't spinning them up, it is moving them up, as a vector. They are rising, not
being spun up. They aren't gaining energy, they are gaining altitude. That is an energy gain in one
way, since they now have more potential energy in the Earth's gravitational field, but they haven't
gained any spin energy, and it is spin energy that determines color.

You will say, “How does that happen, physically? How can photon/photon hits drive the light up in
such a tenuous substance as glass? You have said previously that we don't get much photon interaction
with the charge field in cases like this, because the densities are too low. That would be some kind of
magnetic reconnection, and the energies and densities here are way too low for that. Plus, if this was
caused by photon/photon interaction, it would have to be a spin interaction. That is how photons
interact.” True. That isn't what we are seeing. Remember my theory of charge recycling. The glass is
molecular and light and charge have to recycle through any matter present. The matter draws them in
in polar vortices, just as the Earth pulls in charge from the Sun at the poles. So the light moving
through is forced to interact with all matter, including free electrons. Now, the charge field of the Earth
is moving straight up, so free electrons and anything else with freedom to turn will align their poles to
that. So it is when light is recycling through matter that it gets pushed up by the charge field.

You will say, “Well, then it IS a photon/photon interaction, since the motion up in the vortex is caused
by other photons in the vortex. What else would be driving photons up?” Again, true. As light moves
through the electron or nucleus, it is compressed into narrow paths, which DO have high densities. I
was just pointing out this effect required matter. It is not a photon/photon interaction, as in two fields
of photons meeting. It is not just light and charge.

No doubt you will answer, “If so, then when magenta photons pass through these channels, they should
be jostling with other photons. So why aren't they spun down, as before?” Because it isn't the same
situation as before. You have to look at what is actually happening in each situation. You can't
generalize. When magenta cancels the cyan in green, as above in the “additive process”, the photons
are traveling together, side by side. So when they recycle through the matter in air, they are recycled
together. They interact while they are being channeled. But in the situation we are looking at now,
magenta isn't recycling through the same matter. It is already above cyan from the start, due to the
rising charge of the Earth, so as it passes through the prism it is passing through different channels than
cyan. Remember, before we were looking at overlaid light sources or films, but we aren't looking at
overlays here. We are looking at emissions from a source hitting a rising field coming from the side. It
is precisely because magenta is split and isolated that it can survive.

Common questions

Classifying magenta as 'antiphotonic' implies that it behaves differently than spectral colors in a photonic sense. Primarily, prismatic colors are photonic and follow a spin direction in a prism. Magenta's designation as antiphotonic suggests it spins opposite to the prismatic colors, preventing it from bending like other colors and highlighting its distinctive nature. This classification hints at a broader range of antiphotonic colors that remain unexplored, potentially enriching our understanding of light and color mechanics. Such distinctiveness emphasizes the possibility of rethinking color processes and how the brain interprets them .

The prism demonstrates that magenta is not merely an undefined or nonexistent color by showing that it reacts differently than prismatic colors, which are photonic and split into a spectrum based on wavelengths. Since magenta does not bend like yellow or cyan when passing through a prism, it suggests that magenta's composition involves unique photonic qualities, potentially linked to the concept of 'antiphotonic' properties. This unique behavior indicates magenta is distinct and real, albeit manifested through unconventional means, contrasting with the idea of it being undefined due to lacking a single wavelength .

Magenta challenges mainstream color theory by exposing inconsistencies in how colors are perceived and modeled. In the RGB model, magenta appears as a mix of red and blue, a process inaccurately described as additive because when RGB processes mix, magenta in red knocks out cyan in green, revealing yellow rather than blending it. Conversely, in the CMY model, magenta should be a primary as it contributes to creating red and blue. These models fail to consistently explain magenta's nature, emphasizing the need for deeper understanding of color as a subtractive process in RGB and an additive one in CMY due to the contrasting mechanics at play .

The belief that magenta is an average of red and blue is challenged by the observation that the brain synthesizes colors differently. For instance, if the brain were averaging non-adjacent colors like red and blue, it should be able to substitute green for magenta easily, which does not happen. Moreover, magenta doesn't form through a simple mixing of red and blue as it appears in art; red is itself a combination of magenta and yellow, and blue is magenta plus cyan. These findings suggest that magenta is a complex interaction of color perception not easily explained by simple averages of wavelengths .

The behavior of magenta exposes false assumptions such as the idea that human perception of color can be entirely rationalized by wavelengths. Unlike colors that have specific wavelengths, magenta's perception results from complex processes in the brain, challenging the notion that physical measurements directly correlate with subjective experience. It highlights that the brain might construct colors based on interactions between light and non-visible factors like antiphotonic properties, thereby suggesting that perception is not simply an average of visible stimuli but involves other psychological and physiological processes .

The current understanding of magenta challenges traditional classifications by revealing that it does not correspond to a unique energy or wavelength like spectral colors do. Instead, it is described as having similar energy to green, despite not existing as a single wavelength. This redefinition suggests that colors should not only be classified by wavelength but also by their photonic properties and interactions, particularly highlighting alternative factors such as spin and antiphotonic characteristics as critical components in understanding color perception—concepts historically underestimated in color science .

Spin plays a crucial role in differentiating magenta from other colors by aligning how photons behave in interactions with materials and fields. While most colors are identified by their photonic spins and thus bend predictably through prisms, magenta's antiphotonic nature implies a reverse spin direction. This spin difference discourages magenta from interacting in classical photonic split patterns, suggesting magenta interacts with light differently at material interfaces, aiding in isolating it from standard photonic interactions in devices like prisms. This unique behavior offers insights into unseen dimensions of light physics .

Magenta may be more noticeable than other hypothesized antiphotonic colors due to its unique position on the color spectrum and its distinct energy characteristics that differentiate it from purely photonic colors. It is theorized that magenta may be an 'antiphotonic green,' potentially explaining its unique visibility. The perceptual mechanisms—including retinal response and the brain's color interpretation—allow magenta to manifest vividly unlike other antiphotonic colors, which might require specific conditions to appear due to their different interactions and energies involved .

If magenta receptors are mistaken for green receptors, it implies a fundamental gap in how physiological color perception is understood, particularly relating to the detection and differentiation of specific wavelengths and spins by retinal cells. This misidentification suggests that the human eye might possess a more nuanced capability to distinguish antiphotonic properties that current sciences overlook. Discovering and confirming the existence of dedicated magenta receptors could revolutionize color vision theory and inspire a reevaluation of how diverse light interactions produce distinct perceptual experiences, fundamentally altering neuroscience and optics fields .

Magenta is considered an 'extra-spectral' color because it is not found in the visible spectrum of colors produced by dividing white light with a prism; it is not a part of the rainbow. This implies that magenta does not correspond to a single wavelength of light but is instead perceived when the brain combines the wavelengths of red and blue light—two ends of the visible spectrum. This characteristic of magenta challenges the conventional understanding of color as being directly tied to particular wavelengths, highlighting its unique nature in color theory .
