A good approximation to a common idea of lavender would be the color of a formerly blue Wikipedia link that has turned a shade of light violet because you have already been to that article. This color, Wikipedia lavender, which could be described as dull deep lavender or pale dull medium violet , is reproduced in the color box at right.
I'm not inclined to believe that any of the sources refer to this as "Wikipedia link lavender", considering Wikipedia didn't exist yet. Feel free to add it back if you can find a reference that does, though. - ∅ (∅), 19:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source
I removed a source of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Single_lavendar_flower02.jpg for the info box, which in turn replaced a link to another Wikipedia. Wikipedia articles are never sources; if an article contains some information you should refer onwards to the original source. In any case, that was a picture. I want to emphasise my interpretation of Wikipedia's guidelines: that a photograph cannot be a source of a named color value, and if that is the only source, it must be removed.

[edit] Lavender Bandana / Chihuahas?
The section on Lavender bandana says the color is taken from the bandana at http://www.chihuahuasforever.com/. I see no bandana there, and I'm not clear why chihuahas would be canonical as color sources anyway. The link seems to have been there for a while, and I don't know how to search for when it was added/changed... Boojum 20:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
