Lavender and Fuchsia

Lavender, a pale tint of violet.

Violet, the color of amethyst.

Amethyst, between purple and blue.

Blue makes lavender a cool color.

Fuchsia, sometimes the same as magenta.

Magenta, between red and violet.

Violet, opposite on the light spectrum from red.

Red makes fuchsia a warm color.

Both, the color of their flowers.

Both, have multiple known species.

Lavender, two variations, both from the lavendula.

Fuchsia, many variations; the color, and the flowers.

But lavender, more blue; fuchsia, more pink.

So lavender and fuchsia, not the same thing.
