I wouldn't be afraid to use any or many of these fabrics together. In Japan, there are no rules. That's where I learned to like red/orange and purple/orange combinations. My kimono is a textured white ground with red, peach and purple chrisanthemums; leaves are forest and sage green, grey, and mustard color. My obi is a brilliant orange, neutral and gold. And it all works together. Their secret seems to be not the colors, but the use of them, not letting one pattern overpower another.

What a challenge!
