Psychology

History

Fuchsine and its relatives, the first aniline dyes, triggered a Victorian fashion craze for bright synthetic colours that natural dyes could never match.

Design use

This shade sits in a versatile middle ground — useful as brand accents, data visualisation series, and illustrative elements. Its middle lightness gives it presence on both white and dark backgrounds.
