Fuchsine

1343

Fuchsine is a deep red with prominent violet undertones that give it complexity beyond a standard red. With an LRV of 12.44, this is a dark shade that absorbs significant light and creates visual depth on walls. The violet undertones become more visible in cooler lighting conditions.

This color functions as an accent wall treatment in dining rooms, living spaces, or studies where a dramatic effect is appropriate. Fuchsine pairs with Benjamin Moore Forest Green for contrast, Gray Owl as a neutral companion, Simply White for trim, and Aegean Teal as a complementary accent.
