You don’t have to be armed with in-depth knowledge on everything fuchsia pink, to know exactly the key-factors in styling, all you must do is find out fun ways to incorporate this trending colour into your wardrobe with ease. Fuchsia is on the purple side of pink and is named for the pink-purple flower of the fuchsia plant. It is sometimes described as hot pink, reddish-purple, vivid pink, and light purple. Antique fuchsia is a lavender-leaning shade of fuchsia.

Fuchsia is a mixed warm/cool colour. Fuchsia, like pink, is a playful colour that can be sophisticated when paired with cool, dark colours. Too much fuchsia can be overwhelming. But in general, the fun colour, is meant to have and be on more of the playful side. You defiantly don’t have to take it so seriously where you lose yourself within the hue. Fuchsia got its name from a flower known as the Fuchsia Plant in the 16th century. It got its real-world application when it was used as a new aniline dye called fuchsine in 1859 France.

The fuchsia colour suggests maturity, assurance, and self-confidence. Its warm red characteristics give it a comforting and nurturing effect, making it quite popular when Valentine’s Day and similarly romantic occasions roll around. Fuchsia can also signal feelings of independence and uniqueness, as it’s loud and stands out no matter what other colours it’s paired with.

When used in branding, fuchsia is often associated with personalities and missions that have a playful, feminine edge to them. It’s a sassy colour, all in all. And this may sound hard to believe, but it is an easy colour to pair with just about any style.
