What is the difference between "fuchsia" and "fuschia"?

Just an acceptable spelling shift, like grey and gray

What is the difference between "fuchsia" and "fuschia"?
They are the same thing, a color of pinkey purple, but there are different ways to spell it. It's like theater and theatre and color and colour.





(Personally, I spell the word the first way, fuchsia.)





Hope this helped!!
Reply:Fuschia is just a misspelling. The proper spelling is "fuchsia", as the color derives from the color of a particular species of flowering shrub (also called the fuchsia), which was named for the German botanist (Fuchs) who first produced it.
Reply:one of them is spelled wrong?
