So which is it, #FF00FF or #F400A1? The #F400A1 seems to have come from some guy's guesstimate in Talk:Magenta; is that really anything to go on? --Darksasami 08:06, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Just about everyone knows FF00FF is magenta, as indicated by the M in CMYK. Is CMYK ever called CFYK?? Do a Google search on CFYK and what will Google favor?? Georgia guy 18:59, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Weird, the color on the template at the bottom and the color in the image are not the same o.O Flammifer 18:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Exactly my case. Very confusing. --Oop 13:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Okay... so... my idea here is that fuchsia is FF00FF. Outside of printing and science, magenta is a dark pink, whereas fuchsia is always the pure light purple color. F400A1 seems to me to be more like what magenta actually is in real life (then again, magenta is a MUCH broader term than fuchsia).
Whether or not "fuchsia" is the term used in printing is 100% irrelevant. That's ike saying that light blue isn't 00FFFF, becuase it's not LBMYK. Just because there's another word for it doesn't mean that it's not a proper color.
That may not have made altogether too much sense. Apologies. Matt Yeager 23:40, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
Moreover, this article is categorized under Shades of red and magenta under shades of violet. If the colors are equal, doesn't it make sense for them to go under the same category?? 66.32.248.238 23:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Returning to a right color
As this page was originally set up with Fuchsia as #F400A1 instead of the #FF00FF. Let me explain the reasoning. Fuchsia is a flower/fashion color. Magenta is a toner/processing color. Some computer guy messed up when they called FF00FF "Fuchsia". Just because there is a web color called "Fuchsia" that is not what this article is about. It is about approximating the actual color from fashion and from the flower.
If anyone has anything to talk on this, we can possibly add an explaination. Right now the Magenta color page and the Fuchsia color page are showing the exact same colors, when clearly they are NOT the same visible color. Feel free to comment on this. --WillDarlock 21:08, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

- Great work on the compromises for setting up these multiple color boxes. I think it is helpful to explain these differences. --WillDarlock 15:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Fuschia = Magenta
The colors shown in this article are exactly the same colors shown in the article on magenta, so shouldn't this article be combined with the article on magenta and then if you type fuchsia in the search box it would just take you to magenta. Keraunos 11:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... never thought about that... interesting idea... hmmm... *thinks*... Matt Yeager
I've changed my mind. I realized I made an error. I think its better to keep the two articles separate because the second color in the fuchsia article is actually different than the second color in the magenta article. ````

[edit] Encyclopedia worthy? I think not.
The Human culture section does not belong here, and it assumes a species-wide culture. The bit about signifying being "into spanking" hardly seems like it belongs in an encyclopedia. I'm renaming the subdivision and removing the sexual symbolism nonsense. --Demonesque 04:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
