Colors That Go With Purple

Purple is the color of luxury and creativity. It can swing from regal (deep eggplant) to playful (lavender) depending on saturation and what you pair it with.

Why these pairings work

Purple sits between blue and red, so analogous pairings (magenta, navy, indigo) deepen it, while yellow (its complement) creates a striking contrast popular in editorial design.
