Default Which SU color closely matches "fuscia"

I want to make a wedding card for a niece whose wedding colors are fuscia and orange. I know I can use the bold brights orange, or even pumpkin for the orange, but what color would be the best match for fuscia? Thanks for your help! :p

Hm. I think most of them are more magenta, like the pomegranate. Maybe rose red? I'd show her and have her pick. I think its a tough call.

I would think the closest matches for current colors would be Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, or Orchid Opulence. We did have a color once called Marvelous Magenta, but you'd probably be hard pressed to find enough for your project now since it's been retired for over 2 1/2 years.

Pink Passion and Only Orange look GREAT together. I did a wedding card using those colors and Antique Background a few years ago that looked gorgeous.

Two years ago I was asked to step in as the matron of honour for a friend's wedding with only a week's notice. Her daughters were her other bride's maids and she already had fuschia dresses for them. I needed to find a dress that worked with theirs. It worked out in the long run, however, I learned this important lesson. One person's fuschia is not another person's fuschia! Check with your niece if it really matters.

Pink Passion. It looks great with Apricot Appeal, Pumpkin Pie or Only Orange, too!

If pink passion is too bright for you, I would say pomegrante used with pumpkin would give you a deeper, darker version of what you might be looking for. I Luh Huv these two colors together, add in some black or choc. chip and it is oh so Yummy! good luck.

Thanks everyone! I also love that combination, and I think if I do a mostly white card with the dark pink and orange accents, that will look pretty!
