What color would you call the color in cell 1?

1 2
3  


For comparison, I've added two nearby colors. Cell two is obviously blue. Cell 3 is the purplest purple I can come up with. Is cell 1 closer to purple, or closer to blue?

Cell one is blue-violet

I'd call it violet, and I think it's closer to blue.

I'm going with Crayola on this one. Periwinkle.

I'd call it periwinkle. I think it's closer to purple than blue.

Those flowers below the kitchen window look blue in some light and more purplish in other. I thought they looked closer to purple when I got home last night.

lavender?

My first impression is that it's close to the purple.

Cell 1 is closer to blue, but it's still got enough red in it to register as something close to lavender.

1 looks more like a blue to me. it reminds me of the "cornflower" color in a box of crayloa!

First "name" to come to my mind is periwinkle. The "last name" of periwinkle is blue... I am not sure why.

(there's one in every bunch)

Before I glanced at the other comments, my response was Periwinkle. After I glanced at the comments, my response still stands.

Mauve? Violet?

And I'm sure we can do better at purple:
How about this?

And look at the colour chart at the bottom of this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

i think 1 is "lilac", closer to purple to my eye.

You think mine is too blue? Yours is a bit on the maroon side.

I'm not sure about those Wikipedia colors. Some of them are quite a bit different than I understand them to be. I'm not sure how much of that is my eyes, how much is my misconceptions, how much is Wikipedia error, and how much is html error.

So... a little closer to violet than blue?

I've never been certain what periwinkle was, but you and several other people seem pretty certain.

I've always though periwinkle was closer to blue than purple, but "closer to purple" and "periwinkle" are winning.

I forgot to add you! Thanks for reminding me.

I've always thought lavendar was a pinkish purple.

You weren't alone in saying it's closer to blue, but you were outvoted by the purple people.

periwinkle is blue, in my mind.

So is this bluish to you?
