Most of those aren't lavender either. Mainly lilac.

It's funny eh? Lavender must be the most controversial colour...

I suppose there's no hard and fast law about it, but I reckon most people see it this way - Kit's Coty is lilac, Sutton Benger is lavender.

Sorry, Google Images lied to me about the size of the image. This should be better.

This blue is called Azzurro Le Mans

Yep my mate has a 1972 2000GTV in that lovely Le Mans Blue.

The thing is that lavender comes in a variety of colours, including white and is darker in bloom than it when dried. Some are blue, some pale purple, some even pinky heatherish in colour but i think what we tend to think is lavender is akin to this

Even Google shows the lilac purple. I guess the colour I like so much is Lavender Blue.
