Gourt Home::Gourt :: Fuchsia (color)
Fuchsia is a color somewhat resembling magenta, named after the plant called a fuchsia.
The color gained currency in computer usage as an alias for #FF00FF, full magenta (often semi-erronously called pink). Specifying "fuchsia" in Cascading Style Sheets will yield that color. It is part of the Windows VGA 16-color palette. It is also commonly used as a transparency key.
In women's fashion circles, fuchsia is known as a popular color for clothing, shoes, and accessories, where it is a darker shade of pink than hot pink.
Fuchsia was a popular color for interior decoration along with orange in the 1970s in the United States.
