Re: orchid as a color
From: "Harold Peters" <harold@directcon.net>
My large dictionary defines orchid as a light bluish red or pale purple. I
have looked at my photos of what is described in the R&Is as orchid. One is
a light red and the other was a pastel purple. A pink lavender could be
between the above dictionary definition.
