Fuchsia, a new operating system
Fuchsia is not a combination of pink and purple. It is the color your brain comes up with when it sees contradictory color signals (such as very high and very low wavelengths without the appropriate middle stimulation). It's the only color not in the rainbow. As you can see from this additive color program (<a href="http://trycolors.com/?try=1&ffb5d9=0&c31cff=0" rel="nofollow">http://trycolors.com/?try=1&ffb5d9=0&c31cff=0</a>), pink and purple create a lavender color. Whereas fuscia is what happens when you combine colors in an unusual way (<a href="http://www.exploratorium.edu/sites/default/files/ColoredShadows_DSC_9965_H1v2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.exploratorium.edu/sites/default/files/ColoredShad...</a>). Normally I wouldn't be this pedantic, but this <i>is</i> hackernews after all.
