Colour pair
Camel and Purple: Do They Go Together?
Yes. Camel is a neutral, so it lets purple be the accent without clashing. Either colour can go on top; keep the lighter one closer to the face if you want it to look fresh.

The two colours

camel
A warm, mid-light tan with a golden cast. It looks expensive, especially in wool coats and knits, and warms up every cool colour next to it.

purple
A deep, saturated violet. Rich and dramatic, it reads cool and a little unexpected.
Works best as: Knitwear, dresses and accessories.
