A mauvish-crimson colour (7)

I believe the answer is:

magenta

(Other definitions for magenta that I've seen before include "Bright purplish-red" , "Reddish-purple colour" , "Light mauvish-crimson" , "Name tag (anag) - colour" , "Light purplish-red" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
