The Color Periwinkle

I don't own a single piece of clothing in this color, but I think it's so pretty and flattering. These are all from Ann Taylor.

It is a pretty color, but I just can't wear those colors. I do appreciate the flowers .

A beautiful color. Reminds me of the song Lavender blue dilly-dilly.

It's such a pretty color. It's pretty in clothing, as well as flowers......I don't own a thing in this color either....

I wore a periwinkle gown in a bridal party eons ago. It was very flattering on all of us. These days I don't think I own anything in that color.

Such a pretty dainty color. I don't have anything in this shade but I'm thinking I might need something now

I think it's difficult to replicate a true periwinkle color in fashion. When you Google you get many shades, from light blue to lavender and darker shades.

@Greeneyedlady21where is the first dress from? I really like it.

@SugarPuff It's from Nordstrom-Harper Rose double collar crepe sheath dress. Petite and regular, $82-$138. I like it too.

@Greeneyedlady21 Periwinkle is hard to get because it's the mix of blue and violet. All of the terciary (double name colors blue-violet) are hard to get for this reason.

Many people have a problem seeing the color calling it "blue" or "purple".

I ran into visual perception issues reguarding color quite a bit teaching about colors.

@Greeneyedlady21 One of my favorite colors! A neighbor has a car that color and I love driving by and seeing it!

Oh, yes, this is my color. 😍

Thanks for sharing @Greeneyedlady21 😊 I will definitely check out Ann Taylor. I don't think I could ever get enough periwinkle in my closet.

It is one of those colors you can't really define. If it says it is Periwinkle, it can be blue or more lavender/purple.

I always have liked that color...I ordered, many years ago, a cropped shirt and pant set from SPIEGEL catalog...in that color. I loved that outfit!

I have always been drawn to periwinkle, but didn't own anything in that color until recently. I have a very good friend who has her own clothing and accessories store in Naples, FL. I was on her website and saw the prettiest periwinkle tee shirt. I kept going back and looking at it,knew I had to own it, and ordered it. I love it! It's a very flattering color and I think it would look good on everyone. So glad I ordered it. It's almost a neutral color. Looks nice with navy, grey, white, black,denim.

Periwinkle is the first color i tried on and thought, this does not look good on me. I was a teenager. I don't know why I remember this. It's a great color but not for me.
