Playful magenta

Personally, whenever I see magenta, I think of big, splashy flowers sorta like the wallpaper my bestie had when I was a kid.
For bold design, go with magenta
The color can be used to create bold and striking designs in fashion, home decor, and graphic design. Magenta is also a popular color in branding and advertising, as it helps to draw attention and make a statement. It’s uplifting and fun, too.
Magenta sparks creativity

Don’t be afraid to use magenta
If you want to get started, you could use small spots or dots of magenta in your design. For example, maybe outline a word or two with magenta. Or use it to dot your i’s! Because it does scream loudly if you use too much of it.
