I love the color periwinkle.
I love the name, which reminds me of wink. And twinkle.
I love the shade that hovers between light blue and purple.
Sometimes there’s just enough purple in the blue to almost constitute periwinkle. (This is stretching it).
There are lots of true periwinkle-blue shutters in Bretagne.
And sometimes there’s just enough blue in the purple to scrape by.
Occasionally you chance upon a periwinkle ceramic yoghurt pot (or something like that).
And every great once in awhile you stumble upon an old periwinkle Citroen.
And it makes your day.
Just look at those darling headlights lights twinkling, twinkling, periwinkling.
Oh I love that color too! It was one of my wedding colors! We had to get Sterling Silver roses that are probably as close as you can get to periwinkle roses. Thanks for the pics of periwinkle… that was fun! Now I’m smiling, even though I have a headache. Hope you are having a good Sunday!
What a lovely post about periwinkle. You take such beautiful photographs 🙂
I was about four when I discovered periwinkle. I was immediately in love with the color and the way it felt to say the word.
This brought all that back…and I love that you said the head lights are periwinkling. That is awesome. Big smile awesome.
Love the color! And the car is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! There is nothing like it here in the States!
You’re right – periwinkle is a gorgeous color, almost as gorgeous as your photos. This post is making me want to re-paint something in my house. Hmmm…
And thank you for stopping by my site through Marinka’s!
I learn something new to-day: periwinkle! Never knew the word before. It just so happens blue is my favourite colour. Most of what I own, including the farm house, come in shades of blue. But periwinkle is something special!
My favorite color too. I want that car!
That car is awesome! Periwinkle is actually my favorite color – I wanted our house to be periwinkle, but my hub vetoed me (probably smartly). Gorgeous pics, lady!
Ooh Amber, maybe he’ll let you repaint just the shutters periwinkle! 🙂
Ooooo… I love Periwinkle, TOO!!! Makes me wish I had more of it in my life. I think I will have to add some soon. It’s such a happy color, isn’t it?
I did not know it was a color! I always associate periwinkle to the tiny sea shell shaped like a spiral which spread throughout the black sand on the beaches in my country. Seeing a periwinkle provides fond memories if being home. Thanks for the post.
