Technicolor April - Lilac by alia_801

Technicolor April - Lilac

This colour was a nightmare! Everywhere I went today I saw mauves, violets, purples, pinks, but no lilac. (I think I've read up on too many colours for this challenge!). Eventually, as happens, I found one of the girls' toys that was about the right colour, so here you go :) Now it looks brown, but I'm over this colour, so you're stuck with it!

Nice effects here--love how the shot sweeps from light to dark. Great work!

It's tough to shoot lilac when the lilacs aren't blooming! I don't know if I'll come up with something for this one or not- off to the supermarket, so maybe I'll find something there.

Very cool

Cool shot. It's funny how you can never find what you want when you look for it. If you weren't looking for lilac you would probably see it all over the place. LOL

Great texture and tonal range - definite lilac tones - & touches of gold to boot!

Technicalities of color names are TOUGH! Way to keep your eyes open!

I think color names are definitely open to interpretation.

Has lilac in it. A great find and capture. Love the tones and crease

I had trouble finding anything lilac, too. :) I like this one, very abstract.

Sorry Alia, I have to be honest, I don't like it. :)

Doesn't quite look lilac to me either but you still found some great texture.

Irrespective of the colour, whether lilac or some other colour, I love the clarity of this shot and the light/shade contrasts.

I have this image of you tearing the house apart every night with a colour chart. :)
Nice find.

I found lilac a real challenge too, and tomorrow we've got mauve..... Love the textures in this.

Nice shot. I like that it has an abstract look to it. It also has texture. I think you did a great job capturing this.

You're right, lilac is really tough! But I think it does have a slight lilac tone to it. Great job!

@humphreyhippo Not quite, though I often have to wikipedia the colours to figure out how one is different from another!
