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?).
