The trouble with the wallpaper background color is that there's really more than one.  It's mottled, with a dark and a light shade of the same hue.  As far as I'm concerned, the closest well-known color name for it is periwinkle.  So I just say "it's a shade of periwinkle" and call that good enough. That wallpaper has never been replaced, btw.


Thanks for that, Dan. And I wasn't thinking that the wallpaper had been replaced, but just that it had faded out over the years, what with all the washing of the walls, and other situations with so many guests, with flash cameras, etc. I just thought that it had gotten old. Oh, well, it is good to know that it is still all original.
