Fuchsia (color)
Fuchsia (/ˈfjuːʃə/, FEW-shə) is a vivid purplish red color, named after the flower of the fuchsia plant, which took its name from the 16th century German botanist Leonhart Fuchs. The color fuchsia was first introduced as the color of a new aniline dye called fuchsine, patented in 1859 by the French chemist Francois-Emmanuel Verguin. The dye was named that same year as magenta, to celebrate a victory of the French army at the Battle of Magenta on June 4, 1859, near the Italian city of that name. In the RGB color model, used to create colors on computers and television screens, and in web colors, fuchsia and magenta are exactly the same color, made by mixing blue and red light at full and equal intensity. In color printing and design, there are more variations between magenta and fuchsia. Fuchsia is usually more purplish color, whereas magenta is more reddish. Fuchsia flowers themselves contain a wide variety of purples. The first recorded use of fuchsia as a color name in English was in 1892.
