Can anyone tell me how to make periwinkle color BC?
It looks mostly some type of blue, but there's gotta be some red/pink in it?

Last time I made periwinkle, I used Wilton's royal blue with a little violet added in.

I used Americolor Violet with some Wilton Royal Blue and a little bit of Americolor Soft Pink. So I'm guessing if you tinted the icing a lavender color, added a little bit of the blue and a little bit of the pink, you would get the right color. I just added a tiny drop of whatever color I thought it needed to be right, mixed that in first, and then checked it.
