How do you define lilac?

If you define lilac as the color of lilac flowers, then it is a color that sits between light magenta and light violet on the color wheel and looks pinker than mauve or lavender.

However, in everyday language, the color name lilac is used to describe quite a wide range of purple shades. This is reflected in Merriam-Webster’s definition of the color lilac as “a variable color averaging a moderate purple.”
