Turquoise and purple: The perfect pair

The unadorned calm of purple alongside uplifting turquoise makes pairing the two colors a delight to the eye. Because the two colors suit one another so perfectly, it is easy to add a third color to the mix without too much thought. The only thing to remember when adding a third color is that it should be muted, not bold. Shocking pink would clash with these two colors, but a soft pink would be delectable. A smoky grey is a perfect complement to the purple-turquoise coupling for a more subdued setting in a new space.
