27 Examples of Purple Color Combinations

 ,
Purple is an unusual color in nature such that it is perceived as distinctive, bold and quirky. As such, it is difficult to match as it clashes with most colors. The most common approach to matching purple is to use neutrals such as black, brown, grey and white. It is also possible to match purple with blue and other colors may work on a case-by-case basis. Purple has very high contrast with its complementary color yellow. However, this combination is rarely used for high visibility applications such as safety as compared to other complementary colors such as blue and orange. The following are examples of purple color combinations.

Notes

Violet and purple are two colors that have nothing in common in terms of their wavelengths of light but are perceived as the same color. In fact, most display technologies do not emit violet light but simulate it with purple.
