Every year, I wait in anticipation for Pantone's announcement of their chosen color of the new year and I especially love it when they choose a shade of purple that most resembles the color of lavender--the plant, I mean. They always seem to avoid the elephant in the room and give the pretty purple hue another name than what it really should be. After all, a rose by any other name is still a rose so why should it be different for another garden princess whom we lovingly refer to as lavender?
