About the Fuchsia Color
What Fuchsia Looks Like
Fuchsia is pure magenta: red and blue at full strength with no green. In CSS, Fuchsia and Magenta are the same color (#FF00FF). It is the most intense pink-purple in the RGB color model.
Mood & Meaning
Fuchsia is named after the fuchsia flower, which honors the botanist Leonhart Fuchs, while the name magenta comes from a dye named after the 1859 Battle of Magenta. The color feels bold, exotic and creative, and it is a signature of retro, synthwave and pop art styles.
Tips for Using Fuchsia
Fuchsia pairs strikingly with cyan for a classic synthwave look, or with deep indigo for a moody, high-contrast palette. Because it turns off all green sub-pixels, it also doubles as a quick display test. For lighting, keep brightness moderate so the color does not overwhelm skin tones.
