This week's color is Lavender - a great pastel purple for spring!
Because it's so pale, lavender works best with darker shades. I particularly like it with unique colors with gray undertones (like moss green or dusty rose pink)!
Fun facts about Lavender:
1. The first recorded use of the word lavender as a color term in English was in 1705; it was named for the flowering plant of the same name native to much of southern Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia.
2. The color lavender has symbolized many things throughout history, including love at first sight, decadence (especially the sensual enjoyment of music and art), elegance, femininity, homosexuality, imagination, and general cancer awareness.
3. There is a character in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series named Lavender Brown.
