V. the unnatural of the lilac? Grin. I love the uncommon, natural of the lilac. I love the common, natural of the green. Thus, it's a tie. and the tie goes to the closest thing to Ardbeg. Ardbeg's colors (besides beautiful glistening rich deep gold) are black (unhelpful) and deep mossy green (OOOOOOOH! Helpful.) Tie goes to the green! Grin.
