From the wikipedia page "Shades of Magenta"

The page itself.

A good chunk of those shades are very easily "busted up/bruised" colors.

On a second, more careful review of that wikipedia page:

I thank you for being the only person to actually address and correct my mistake. While the color I was brought up to understand as magenta and the color of the flower I got when I googled "magenta" and the color of the relevant dog (if you squint, maybe) do not look like any bruise or blood, the color can be fairly said to take up more space in the color wheel than that, and potentially includes many "bruised" colors.
