Red and magenta look quite similar to me, I have a tough time telling
them apart. I've got one of each in hand now, the magenta has a
slight hint of pink in it, but that is only visible when viewed under
a bright desk lamp. In my normal studio lighting I can't tell them
apart. If you are consider getting red or magenta, and not both, I
suggest magenta, I think it looks nicer. But most people will think
it's red.

OTOH, yellow and orange are quite distinct and are nowhere near red
or magenta. I have no trouble differentiating between orange, yellow,
and red (or is it magenta?).
