I was playing with color the other day, and really liked this combination. The only thing is that the blue really looks like a purply blue, and I can't seem to get the picture right! I couldn't decide if they were blue or purple, so I asked the kiddo what color these looked like to her, and she said I should call them Purple Jungle. Lol. I think my 9 yr. old is more creative than I am!
Very nice. I'd call this color violet. Like Liz Taylor's eyes. Just past blue.

to me lavender is a bluer shade of purple pastel and violet has more red to it. Diana
Aha! That makes more sense to me now.
Thanks,
Violet to me is more mauve-ish. I would call the color Jerri used Lilac. Lavender has more blue than violet, and lilac has more blue than lavender. At least IMNSHO. :)
I consider lavender the pastel shade of violet. If it were being created in pigment, there would be white mixed with violet to arrive at lavender.

The whole discussion about color is funny. We all use names for colors and yet the color we mean can be different than the color someone else uses the same name for. Ive been gifted with lots of fabric from people who know I love purples. There are colors in this pile of purples ranging from palest pastel to the most kick your ass purpley purples and everything in between! There are mauves and lavenders and violets and fushias... its going to make an interesting study in purple.. Everyone who sent them would have said.. thats a purple! Diana
They look blue-violet on my monitor. I love the way you made them with the green!
