so this is based off my memory so there could be inaccuracies.
but what i've heard is that pink is the result of your brain registering a color because of specific color cones being activated but that your brain knows it's not actually that color and so it fills it in with pink.

Yeah, that's magenta, which looks like a pink, but it's not really.
