This is a rather interesting discussion that pink isn't actually a colour.

Every other colour such as red, green, brown, yellow, auburn, teal, etc, all have wavelengths of light that correspond to the energies (E=hv) they emit. However magenta doesn't appear on the spectrum.

I'll save the explanation, because you can read that in the article, but this is quite weird, no?

A colour that has no wavelength, that technically doesn't exist.

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

if that spectrum were to be displayed as a circle, you would find magenta actually is....it links purple into red

If we see it...it exists...we call it a colour, therefore it is.
