Well in Germany the formal Word for Purple is VEE-O-LET or LEE-LAH.
But if you go to the deep West like Westphalia they call it LIL`AH.
Don´t ask me why, its a dialect :-)
Yeah even the Colour black has another Word.
Formal its SHVAHRTZ and in the deep West they say SHVAHTT.
Its not easy to write the pronounciation *g*
Of course there are many different words except for colours, but in that case I thought its important for the Name Lilla cos if anyone calls Lilla, everybody in Germany would think of the colour :-)
