About Fuchsia
Fuchsia is a vivid light magenta. Its hue sits at 328° in OKLCH and 300° in HSL — the two wheels are spaced differently, which is why the numbers disagree.
The keyword fuchsia is one of the sixteen original HTML 4 colors, the whole palette of CSS 1, so it is understood by every browser and every email client ever shipped. It can also be written magenta: same value, and both spellings work in any stylesheet.
