When enchanting a Golden Apple using an anvil or enchantments, the text color changes from cyan to magenta. This likely happens because the game thinks it is an Enchanted Golden Apple, but it still gives the same effects as a regular Golden Apple.
How to replicate:
You will need:
Golden Apple
Enchanted Book
Anvil
Place the Anvil and open its interface.
Put the Golden Apple into the first input slot, and the Enchanted Book into the second input slot.
Take the "Enchanted" Golden Apple from the output slot.

It was a useful way to trick players before 1.13, since regular and enchanted golden apples had the same name. If the player enchants a regular golden apple before 1.13 via commands, then regular and enchanted apples have the same name and appearance. The regular golden apple was disguised as an enchanted apple.
I can confirm, bit it might intended
