“pretty purple”

Description from Regina v: Purple. Violet. Rose tinged browns and golds. Possible combinations for bright or muted purples and smokes that allow color combining. Bright copper for a surprise, and it keeps the combo from becoming muddy.

Thanks for the feedback Chickies and Atomic Toad (not a chick!),
I like to combine complementary colors, especially the secondaries – orange, purple, green and their muted tones. Sometimes these combos can get, well, a bit too sedate. Calm is nice, but it’s fun to mix it up. Copper keeps the purples surprising – it’s like a bright metallic orange, but with a muted hue.

Also fun and very pretty – bright silver with warm gray and amber colors, copper + blues. What other ideas do you guys have?
