Whenever fall rolls around, a new version of purple comes out, just a hint of change from the previous year, or so it seems. Maybe it’s the color’s it’s paired with, but whatever it is, we are totally in love with this plum, mixed with a pinkish-red and almost flouro pink (the look, almost clashing).
We’re especially liking that lipstick on Kate Moss mixed with her plum-wine colored coat seen in those fall ads for Donna Karan. Room (above)from home of H&H merchandising designer, Emily Walker. The pillow from The Cross, Coverlet, House & Home, throw from Lucca (bedroom photo from H &H Makeovers 2008 magazine - photo by Donna Griffith).

Oh I just love that rug!!
I know there's always disagreement over purple for interior design, but when it's this rich... I absolutely love it!
Very cool! I'm adding magenta to my tiffany blue and black room. I'll have to check out that pillow...
We're doing this shade of plum mixed with dark pink and tan in our living room so I was so happy to see this today to confirm what I was feeling a little insecure about. Thankfully my husband doesn't mind the feminine colors!
We went picking blackberries last night and we ate them with whipped cream - exactly the colour combination of the bedroom picture. That is SO gorgeous.
Those colors look amazing! Totally alive. Purple is a great color to work with and if you wanted to go with a softer tone, you could try a combo of a few different colors.
A few colors from the Valspar deck which come to mind are Lilac Lace, a soft rosy purple, Light Raffia, a light beige with a hint of green, and a color called Barely Pink which brings some grey to the pink. These colors make up a subdued palette that would be a great foundation for some of the bolder colors you suggested.
