What Color Is That Hydrangea

Is that hydrangea purple, or dark pink?  Is that a dark blue or purple?  Dark blue or blue blue?  Walk into the Sun Valley warehouse this time of year and be prepared to join the grand hydrangea color debate.  This might sound silly but it really is a challenge, since our customers need words to describe what often times is really hard to describe. Here is a recent quote from Sales Rep. Barbara Haskins,

"The head of the hydrangea is baby blue, with hints of sky blue, over on the left side it gets towards Navy blue, and the other side goes towards lavender."

Words may not be able to do justice to the eclectic color pallet of a hydrangea, so then we start taking photographs.  This opens up another conversation, since every computer monitor, printer and camera is going to see the various shades of color in any given hydrangea differently.
