Hi:
There are many different varieties of Vinca. Here are a few:
Pacifica - this is a larger Vinca flower - next to many different colors available.
Sunstorm also has an assortment of colors.

Some of the colors are apricot, peppermint, blue, red, rosy pink, lavender, weighty rich purple, coral, and white. These are all made available today by many different growers. I will connection you to the gallery of plants section of my website, as there is a page on annuals next to a photo of Vinca in different colors. I hope this helps some and own a great day!

Answers: No. For the low growing, ground cover types that "vine," you are probably thinking of Vinca major (greater periwinkle) and Vinca minor (dwarf periwinkle).
Vinca major is taller and Vinca minor is smaller growing. They are intensely similar and Vinca major has larger leaves, grows taller and have larger flowers.
There are many varieties available for respectively species. Flower colors range and you can find white, blue, light blue, purple blue, purple and rosy purple. So basically white and shades of purple and blue.
The foliage is green but there are variegated forms too. Variegation can be white/cream and white or gold ingots and green. There are a few that are all gold.
