So I take it by lavender he means light purple then? but somehow he also said it's more like Sakurairo / sakura-colored

ラベンダーって言うけど桜色でしょ！RT @MorningMusumeMg

eh whuh
Are there any lavender-colored Sakura blossoms lol ?
*still holding on to hope for slightly pinkish white *

edit-after a quick googling , well there's this

Ok, I can live with that I guess

[Celedam]

I imagine a very light pink-purple, bordering on white, distinctly different from Sayu's baby pink. Much lighter than what otaku_blue posted, and yes, closer to that picture. For the glow sticks, I imagine they'll use modified white.

I also had a thought that Eripon giving up purple was part of the plan all along, since Sakura was already in the system at that time and the management may have planned to promote her and give her this color regardless of the auditions. But "sakura-colored" lavender and Eripon's darker purple really aren't that close, so there wouldn't have been confusion there, and pushing Eripon into the yellow/green range with Zukki, Haruna, and Maachan made things more confusing. So… feh.

yay, so lovely color

[aishiteruaibon]

I'm pleased with this color decision. I knew it would be some shade of purple. Ah, Sakura-purple. I love it.

On googling Sakura purple:

Yay

[Moh]

That's a nice color, should suit her well.

I think her color is going to end up something like what she has on her shirt here:
