#FF00FFFuchsia is a vivid, fully saturated, mid-toned warm pink (#FF00FF). Also written as magenta in CSS — both spellings resolve to #FF00FF.
At hue 300° with 100% saturation, fuchsia lands firmly in the pink family — a warm color through and through. Colors in this range are commonly associated with playfulness, romance and softness, which makes fuchsia a natural fit for lifestyle brands, gentle accents and youthful designs.
Fuchsia is bright enough that it pairs better with dark text than white: black type on fuchsia hits 6.70:1 — past the WCAG AA threshold — while white manages only 3.14:1. It shines as a section background, card fill or subtle highlight where a full-strength accent would shout.
For pairings, the complement of fuchsia sits at 120° — #00FF00, close to lime — and delivers the strongest possible hue contrast; use it sparingly, in roughly a 90/10 split, so the two don't fight. For calmer schemes, the analogous colors 30° to either side keep the same warm temperature, while the triadic pair gives you a balanced three-color palette. All of these are computed for fuchsia in the palettes below, with copy-ready codes.
Every palette below is computed from fuchsia's position on the color wheel (hue 300°). Hover any swatch to see its code; click to copy.
Tints mix fuchsia toward white; shades mix it toward black. Use the scale for hover states, borders and depth without leaving the hue.
WCAG 2.1 requires 4.5:1 for normal text (AA) and 3:1 for large text. Here's how fuchsia performs, plus how it appears under the three main types of dichromatic color blindness (simulated approximation).
| Pairing | Ratio | Normal text | Large text |
|---|---|---|---|
| White text on Fuchsia | 3.14:1 | Fail | AA |
| Black text on Fuchsia | 6.70:1 | AA | AAA |
