Fuchsia

/ˈfjuːʃə/ noun

Fuchsia is a bright purplish-pink color. It is also the name of a plant with hanging, bell-shaped flowers in vivid pinks and purples.

“Fuchsia” is named after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566). The plant was named in his honor, and later the flower’s intense color gave its name to the shade.
