The colorant includes a magenta colorant, a hue-adjusting colorant that absorbs light having a wavelength of from about 400 to about 500 nm, and an optional shade-adjusting colorant that absorbs light having a wavelength of from about 600 to about 700 nm. The magenta colourant may preferably be selected from Pigment Red 57:1, Pigment Red 81:2, Pigment Red 122, Pigment Red 184, Pigment Red 185, Pigment Red 238, Pigment Red 269, Solvent Red 52, Solvent Red 151, Solvent Red 155 and Solvent Red 172. |
