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. (see list of crayola crayon colors.)

some sources use the terms "color wheel" and "color circle" interchangeably; however, one term or the other may be more prevalent in certain fields or certain versions as mentioned above. for instance, some reserve the term "color wheel" for mechanical rotating devices, such as color tops or filter wheels. others classify various color wheels as "color disc", "color chart", and "color scale" varieties.
