Teal or fuchsia?



Top: Jaspal

I'm not sure what color is my outfit above. Teal or fuchsia?
Ok, from my personal knowledge, teal is a not-so-dark green or blue green and fuschia is a baby green. No?
Errr..let us ask Mr. Google:-

Teal is a low-saturated color, a bluish-green to dark medium, similar to medium blue-green and dark cyan. It can be created by mixing green with blue into a white base, or deepened as needed with a little bit of black or gray color. wikipedia

Fuchsia (pronunciation: /ˈfjuːʃə/, FEW-shə) is a vivid reddish or pink color named after the flower of the fuchsia plant, itself named after the German scientist Leonhart Fuchs. Some people might think Fuchsia is a synonym for magenta although it is an entirely different color than magenta in some color palettes. Magenta in many color palettes has far more brown in it than fuchsia. Fuchsia is often portrayed as a more reddish color whereas magenta is more purple.
There is also a somewhat redder and slightly less saturated hue termed fashion fuchsia (see below) that is used in women's fashion (it is also called Hollywood cerise) wikipedia
