I believe magenta was one of the aniline dyes invented in the later 19th century and was named after a battle in Napoleon III's reign - but I assume the poster was referring to a natural colour approaching that shade. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15/03/2006 21:49 >>>
I always thought that magenta was named after a battle in the Napoleonic wars but I could be way wrong!
