lavender
Pale purple hue
Lavender is a fragrant plant with pale purple flowers, grown for its scent and used in sachets, soaps, and essential oils.
The color lavender is a soft purple with a grayish or bluish tint: lavender walls, a lavender dress.
Lavender has long associations with femininity and, since at least the early twentieth century, with male homosexuality—sometimes used dismissively: the lavender set.
