There are colors that I'm less fond of by themselves, but color never exists solely by itself. They all change depending on what they are close to and working with...much like some people I know. :lol: If you don't like purple by itself or with white, try it with red or blue or yellow. It'll change it's appearance and you may decide it isn't so bad after all. It's great with black, too. I keep some of everything in my stash because I work mostly in analgous color schemes. So even though I wouldn't use orange all by itself, I absolutely love it with reds and yellows. As they say, it's all relative! :D
