Fuchsia
Also known as: Vice City , Ferocious Flamingo , Pink Pride , Méi Gūi Zǐ Purple
On screen, Fuchsia registers as playful and warm: a medium pink at home in beauty and fashion and romantic branding. A green counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.66:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
