Definition
Magenta is reserved for information that must catch the eye: light flares at lighthouses and buoys, radio and radar beacon circles, traffic scheme arrows, restricted and prohibited area limits, submarine cable and pipeline warnings, recommended tracks and caution notes. It is also the colour of most Notices to Mariners corrections applied by hand. Because magenta is used for so many different classes of information, the symbol shape rather than its colour identifies the feature.
