Hi Darl, In Cosmetics Colours And Names Seldom Relate. There Are So Many Companies Out There And They Can't All Use The Same Names For Their Colours. Quite Often They Just Invent Names That Someone In Marketing Thinks Will Sell The Product. I Hope This In Some Way Answers Your Question Darl, Have A Gooday And Keep It True Blue!
Reply:The plum itself is a purple, but the sugar plum tree flower is a white, sometimes pale pink bloom. You can't really depend on the names of the products to be accurate of the color. They are just someone's subjective idea of what to call the color.
