OK... No, I'm sorry to say this is not a good advice.
You can't just say "if you have a wrong balance, add some magenta", it's like if someone would say "I'm not sure the meal will be fine" and you would advice "add some salt ! " even though you don't know what was cooked !
If your balance is wrong the image may be bluish (if the color temp was higher than what your camera was set for) so that you will have to cut blue (so that you become more yellowish) and a bit of green (as to get a little bit magenta, but far less than yellow). Or it maybe yellowish/orange a bit (if the color temp was lower than what your camera...) so that you need to add blue, a bit of green and cut some red (so that you get more bluish/green)...
Magenta is not the opposite of yellow. Blue is. Magenta is the opposite of green.
Anyway, if you missed your balance, correct in post. comma. This should be the best answer...
