Does anyone know what the difference between the colors lavender, lilac, and wild orchid?

I'm shopping for dresses and decorations. Every site has a different color light purple. I need to know how close to each other these three colors are so that they don't clash. Any help is very welcome.

Does anyone know what the difference between the colors lavender, lilac, and wild orchid?
Any color names are subjective, and in my experience, not very representative... "lavender" the color doesn't usually look like "lavender the flower...


Generally, I would say that lilac is more pink than lavender, and that orchid is more pink than that.


There's no way to tell by the name of the color, or even a picture online, since the color representation depends on the websites color card settings, as well as the settings on your computer.


The only way to know for sure is to go to the stores and get a sample, take your camera to each place and photograph each item you're interested in, or...


Accept that there's going to be lots of different shades of light purple, and figure out ways to tie them all in together. For instance, picking up different pinky purple, and blue-purple flowers, ribbons, balloons, or crepe paper to decorate with, and mix them together with the stuff you're buying online. This is maybe more expensive than the others, but takes the least legwork.
Reply:i think you have to actually show us the colors or else what we describe the colors names wont really mean anything. many companies give their colors fancy names because the color is just purple but theres no name for a certain tone of purple...its just light purple, purple, dark purple, pinkish purple, etc...and everyone calls different colors different names...like lets say your wearing a blueish green dress...and you describe it blue green...someone else might say "wow nice green dress!" while your thinking in your head...."its blue green damn it!" so yeah...sorry i know that wasn't what you were looking for but hope it was good information.
Reply:lavender is more of a light purple and lilac is more of a light pinkish purple if that helps. I don't know what color wild orchid would be, but it sounds by name like a really bright purple color.





Could you ask the shops to send you photos via email of the products? Or maybe a color swatch? They might do that if they thought it would make the difference in your purchasing from them.
