Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Fuchsia Pink Color 383 - #FF77FF
Fuchsia is a vivid shade of red, purplish-red or pink named after the flower of
the fuchsia plant, itself named after the German scientist 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. Its
name was changed the same year to magenta, after an historic battle 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 equal intensity.
