Difference between lavender and lilac

Hi, what is the different colour between lavender and lilac. Is it that the tail of a lavender is purple and Lilac is blue? I know lavender is violet cinnamon and lilac is cobalt cinnamon but I can't tell the difference in some pictures. Thank you

Re: Difference between lavender and lilac

Hi,
Thank you so much for the photos.
They look very similar. I have a lilac very nice colour. Is there a difference in the tail colour? I was told a lavender has more of a purple were the lilac is blue is this correct? Thank you so much.

Re: Violet cobalt with lavender

Hi,
I am wanting to have all different shades of purple. I currently have a cobalt cinnamon and violet. Would I be best to put a violet cobalt with another violet cobalt??
Will they produce all violet cobalts??
Thank you xx

Re: How to breed violet pied

Hi,
Thank you for your reply :) I have not got a pied yet but i am looking. I wasn't sure if I could breed a blue recessive pied to a violet cobalt and get pied babies. So I really need a dominate pied blue to breed with a violet cobalt.
Thank you again.. You have been very helpful xx
