A color that doesn't technically exist — your brain invents it to fill a gap.
means A vivid, slightly purplish bright pink, named after the flowers of the fuchsia plant.
from Named after the fuchsia flower, which itself honors the 16th-century German botanist Leonhart Fuchs — whose surname simply means 'fox' in German. So this riotous pink carries, buried in its name, a quiet woodland animal. The flower was named in Fuchs's memory long after his death; the color borrowed it later still. A common spelling stumble — 'fuschia' — shows how few people remember the fox hiding inside.
