Need color input

20 years ago

Is there a name for this color (ecru mabe?)or would one define it as a blend (if so, what colors would you include? Purple/Tan?) I have been admiring this seedling all day but cannot figure out what color to call it.

Sylvan x Jean Cayeux

The standards border on light gray RHS 188D and the falls Light gray RHS 191C with streaks of other colors here and there and the beard looks RHS 160A. Very interesting color combo. Overall I'd call it grayish lavendar.

Thanks! Great site for figuring out colors. I'm glad that you think grayish lavendar because just a few minutes ago I asked my husband if he thought it looked grayish. He just laughed and shrugged. :o] Course, then I asked him if he liked the color and he looked at me like, "How do I put this nicely?" :o]
I love the color. It's unique.
Thanks again!

One iris similar to this (but not quite the same) is referred to as "olive buff".
