Pink or Lavender? Or is it Radiant Orchid?

Sometimes I think I might be a little bit color blind. Either that, or I was just taught something very different than other people about colors.
Like, for example, I think that these jeans are lavender. I have been on the hunt for lavender jeans for I don’t even know how long… and I found these on Re-Lilly – they were new with tags – and scored them at an awesome deal. They came in the mail and BOOM fit like a glove. I was pumped.
But, when I put them on, my husband said they were pink. I think they’re lavender. Or even radiant orchid. Because radiant orchid jeans are sooooo 2014.
But, like, I’ve had this same conversation with people over certain shade of blue. I swear that the color is blue, but someone argues it’s purple. For example, the color periwinkle. To me, it looks blue. Others say it’s purple. I realize it’s a color in the blue / purple family… but to me it looks blue. Nothing purple about it. Yet, I will get into a “heated” debate with someone over whether it’s blue or purple.
I realize that this entire thought or notion of whether something is pink, lavender, radiant orchid, blue, purple, or periwinkle REALLY does not matter in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes it really does irk me when my counterparts and I can’t come to an agreement on what color something is.
Am I the ONLY one that struggles with this?!
Again, I realize this entire thing is very silly, but oh well. It’s my random thought for today.
So tell me… are my jeans pink or lavender? Do you have color struggles like I do?! Haha!
HAHA! I love this! 🙂 Let’s go with radiant orchid – totally trendy. Either way – GORGEOUS color.
I see pink but it’s a photo so hard to tell.
I thought of you today at the Lilly store at SP. They really need to work on their “sale” prices. The only Lilly I’ve ever been able to buy has been at consignment shops.
I love anything eyelet and that shade of purple is so pretty!

I think they are between pink and lavender, definitely more orchid.
Definitely lavender, but please keep in mind that most men don’t do periwinkle, fuschia, coral or any different color shades, to them is blue, pink, and orange, they just won’t get involved in that 🙂
Either way they look lovely.

they are lavendar
I think they look lavendar (radiant orchard). Not really pink but I can see how a man would think so. Anyhow they look so cute on you!

I feel the same way! Pink, orchid, blue-pink, purple, lavender, I have no idea! We’ll just call it pretty 🙂
I have no idea what color it is but I love it !! And the eyelet top is so cute!! Susan
Ps. They’re a great colour either way!
I have this discussion with people all the time. I think some people see more red than others. That is the only explanation besides ‘they’re wrong’ that makes sense.
