Fuchsia Color: Let’s Learn More

A most funny word – Fuchsia. Straddling that fine line between purple and pink, the pronunciation of this vivid fuchsia color sounds nothing like its proper spelling. Named for a flower (and which a German botanist named Leonard Fuchs labeled it), this tropical originating decorative shrub is most commonly raised as a houseplant.

With regards to the Fuchsia color, it was introduced as a new aniline dye called fuchsine in the mid-19^th century, and the dye was renamed Magenta around 1860 to celebrate the Battle of Magenta and the victory by the French army in that Italian city that bears its name. Often times, it is difficult to recognize the differences between the two colors (Magenta and Fuchsia), and in fact, the color models that are used to create colors on computers and TV screens define Magenta and the Fuchsia as the same one!

As detailed, Fuchsia and Magenta are considered by many to be the same color and on the web they are indeed the same. In the RGB color wheel, Fuchsia and Magenta are the same color, with Fuchsia being a secondary color. But, Magenta is a very precisely defined value as a primary color.

However, in a paint color palette or in a print they are different and it is quite noticeable. Fuchsia is the hue that lies between violet and magenta, and Magenta from red and blue. Fuchsia is certainly more purplish in color and Magenta is more reddish in color.

Fuchsia color falls within the pink color group range scale, and is accompanied by carnation, magenta, hot pink, baby pink, Baker-Miller pink.
