About these colors

What are the Jacaranda colors?

Jacaranda is the May color story in the Riviera Color Calendar: purple, violet, periwinkle and sky blue. Every late spring the jacaranda trees turn Santa Barbara's streets purple. It's the city's own color for a few weeks, and it's a lovely, unexpected towel color.

What is in the Jacaranda set?

Add the whole set to your bag in one tap at the top of this page, or swap any color. Buy any two Riviera towels, blankets or robes and 10% comes off automatically, no code needed. Free US shipping over $95, or pick up at the shop.

How to style purple, violet, periwinkle and sky blue

Purple with sky blue is softer than purple with pink. Try a purple towel with a periwinkle or light blue one in a white bathroom, or a purple towel on a navy lounge chair by the pool.

Why Riviera Turkish towels

Riviera towels are 100% Turkish cotton, woven in Buldan and Denizli, Turkey, yarn-dyed for color that lasts, pre-washed for softness and finished with hand-tied tassels. They are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified (no. 309234). Everything shown here is in stock at our shop at 17 W. Gutierrez St. in downtown Santa Barbara, and ships from there.
