For those who'd think blue and red do exist and magenta is just deduced by the brain, I would just add that technically, there isn't any color (blue and red included) as they all are created by the brain.

Eyes have censors for Blue Green and Red (actually Yellow), and the brain creates a color depending on how much each kind of censor reacts to an electromagnetic wave (light).

Magenta is only different in that it requires a reaction to Blue (one side of the spectrum) and Red (other side of the spectrum) but not Green (middle of the spectrum), so it can't come from just 1 continuous spectrum like the Sun (no magenta in rainbows).

What I find interesting is that two brains could technically make their own choice on the color to associate with an electromagnetic wave. So what one calls "blue" could be seen red or even an unknown color for someone else, and we'd have no way to find out, because if they are asked "what color is that?", each of them would answer "blue".

That's the oldest animal that still exists today.
