Linda, if that is a cool, shadowy midtone, then I am for it too. You are the brilliant one!

Both of you are brilliant.
Anyway, with all due respect for Scott Bartner whose work I highly prize, the idea of a "Bartner Lavender" may have some merits here, although I always considered that a proprietary color effect of his. So no disrespect to Scott is intended in this experimentation, crudely executed as it is......
Here are more variations:

Garth,
I really like this last version on the bottom. In addition, the red, white, and blue combination adds to the feeling of patriotism.

Dear Scott,
I sincerely apologize for any offense. You are a supreme colorist, and have devised a whole myriad of successful solutions to your backgrounds in a range of divergent colors and gradations. Within these solutions there are many wonderful and harmonious cool lavender hues that ideally juxtapose and frame your subjects. To simply sum it all up as a blanket color association with your name is simply unfair. Your legacy is a thousandfold more, unique and inimitable.
I am just being a hack, groping for color options at the moment, and meant no shallowness or disrespect. I should rephrase my post referencing your works, and will if you wish.
Garth

Garth, Garth, Garth!
I was only kidding. I was not offended in the least, so please don't apologize. In fact I am quite honored you would look at my work when making decisions on such an important commission. My only concern is you don't try to pull another all-nighter before the unveiling of this one.
While we're on the subject of apologies, there is someone out there in cyber space who played a Halloween prank on another forum so effectively scaring the crap out of me...and while I don't expect an apology per se, an offer to cover my laundry bill would go a long way.

Oh! Sorry, Scott. I apologize.
No, I don't!
This is making me want a color named after me, too.

Hey there Garth... I agree with Allan on #3. #4 is a close second. . .
