Wiki:
Fuchsia (
pronunciation: /ˈfjuːʃə/,
FEW-shə) is a vivid
reddish or
pinkish purple color named after the
flower of the
fuchsia plant, itself named after the German scientist
Leonhart Fuchs. Some people might think
Fuchsia is a synonym for
magenta
although it is an entirely different color than magenta in some color
palettes. Magenta in many color palettes has far more brown in it than
fuchsia. Fuchsia is often portrayed as a more reddish color whereas
magenta is more purple.
There is also a somewhat redder and slightly less saturated
hue termed
fashion fuchsia (see below) that is used in women's
fashion (it is also called
Hollywood cerise).
The first recorded use of
fuchsia as a color name in English was in 1892.
