Gosh, I'd go with a light color, since purple is dark and magenta is intense. Light green or yellow or white or cream or even a very light pink would work well.

If this quilt were for a teenager, rather than a baby, I'd probably use black (as long as the purple wasn't almost-black.

Yellow would be pretty with it.

Ditto! Light or dark, but not bright. but try to bring in some pastels like faded rose or faded lavender.

I'd go with lighter pinks and lavenders.

I like the idea of a light gray. .. I think that would be a very "modern" color combination. and i always like yellow with purple!
