#7B8CDEA soft blue-violet that stays luminous without tipping into pastel or neon.
Named for the Vinca flower rather than a pigment. Fashion and interiors keep reaching for it when blue needs a violet edge and violet needs air — a color that is hard to mix cleanly from primaries and easy to overshoot into chalk.
Also searched as periwinkle, blue violet, soft blue purple, vinca, light indigo.
Each palette anchors on Periwinkle #7B8CDE and is validated under daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light.
