I love putting purple and green together. Always have, for as long as I remember. I had a great skirt in high school, all paisley (it was in fashion!) and teals and purples. And as long as I can remember, people have told me that purple and green don’t go together.
Yesterday, my husband and I were watching “CBS Sunday Morning” and there was a segment on the Ferrari. They said there is a two year waiting list because they are hand-made. They said you can choose the colors in just about anything you like, but they can overrule your decision if they feel it falls too far outside the Ferrari way. My husband looked right at me and said, “What colors do you want, babe?” I said “Dark green, with eggplant leather and dark green stitching.” He thought they would tell me “No!” because green and purple don’t go together.
Here are some photos I took yesterday in a park we discovered on Saturday – Monte Verde in Lakewood, CA.
Do you want to argue with Mother Nature about it?

I am with you, purple and green look lovely together. As an artist I have often asked people ‘have you ever seen a flower that clashed with it’s stem?’ Green goes with everything!

Aside from being gorgeous together, your color selection sounds rich and perfectly within something suitable for a Ferrari. Now you just need to go out and order one and test the theory 😉
I distinctly recall, about six years ago, purple and green were all the rage.
I may have knitting one or ten baby things in that color combination. 🙂
