hiler's most notable achievements revolved around his study of how color and the human psyche interact. his ceiling mural at the maritime museum represents his deduction of 30 sensational—rather than mathematical—color relationships in the form of a wheel, as well as their combinations with black, white, and gray. he titled the room "the prismatarium", as it was intended to open up the world of color to viewers in the same way that a planetarium opens up the realm of outer space. the hiler color spectrum varies from the familiar color wheel that developed in the 18th and 19th centuries following sir isaac newton's documentation of the color proportions found in a rainbow. this color wheel presents red, blue, and yellow as the primary colors situated opposite their complementary colors of green, orange, and violet, respectively, and the variations between each color could be endless.

in 1949, the color names of crayola crayons were reformed and became more scientific, more of the names of the colors of the crayons being based on the names of colors in the original 1930 edition of the "dictionary of color" and the color names of the munsell color system. crayola crayons set up a color naming system similar to that used in the munsell color wheel, except that violet instead of purple was used as the secondary color on the color wheel between red and blue. the web color fuchsia is equivalent to the pure chroma on munsell color wheel of the munsell color system that is designated as "5rp" ("reddish purple") i.e., a purple that is shaded toward red (the color we can achieve today with computers is a much more saturated pure color wheel chroma hue than the original color chip shown on the munsell color wheel diagram in the munsell color system article). in 1972, a new crayola crayon color was introduced called "hot magenta" which is the closest equivalent to the web color fuchsia in crayola crayons.
