Lavender is a shade of purple.
The name comes from the flower of the lavender plant. Originally, the name lavender only meant the colour of this flower. The colour of the flower is still the standard lavender but there are many there are many other shades of purple now called lavender.
The colour of the flower can be called floral lavender. Other shades can range in hue from pinkish purple through violet to blueish-indigo. They can also range from light and pale to medium and greyish shades.
