Hello there!
So, have you ever seen different colors of markers or crayons? Some are red, some are blue, and some are yellow. When we mix those colors together, we can create new colors. For example, when we mix red and blue, we get purple.
Magenta is another color, like purple, that we can create by mixing colors. But magenta is a little more complicated because it's made up of two colors that are very close together: red and blue. When we mix these two colors together, we don't get pure magenta. We get shades of magenta.
Shades of magenta are like different versions of the color. Imagine if you could change the brightness or darkness of a color. That's what shades of magenta do. Some shades of magenta are light and bright, while others are darker and deeper.
So, when we talk about shades of magenta, we're talking about all the different versions of the color that we can create by mixing red and blue together in different proportions. And just like how there are different shades of purple or different shades of green, there are lots of different shades of magenta too!
