Purple or Lavender

I have been a fan of lavender and purple since I was a little girl. 
I have a pinterest board under that title.
Here are some of the pictures from that board.

Lavender, not Pantone color of the year

 Pantone color of 2012 is Tangerine Tango. However, while I don't have anything against orange (it is not a favorite), I prefer colors like Farrow & Ball's Red Earth or Ointment pink, which are slightly subdued colors with lots of orange in them.
I like to use orange accents with lavender.

 Here are some of my tried and true great lavenders.

Farrow & Ball - Cinder rose
Sherwin Williams - Brave Purple, Wisteria & Magical
YOLO (Eco friendly paint) - Air.07

Lavender goes with almost anything.
Green, yellow, blue, orange, white, taupe, red any color!

 You can see a client's home where I used Lavender in the master bedroom & adjoining bath + the living room in the last 4 pictures.

So tell me what is your favorite color?

I would like to hear from you.

Love,

Peggy
