Do we develop an interest in a colour because we are exposed to it in different environments or do we like colours naturally and then see them everywhere we look? A good question, but the answer is really irrelevant. We are attracted to certain colours and having them around us adds a positive note to our lives.
I encourage clients to pay attention to their colour voice. If someone comes to me and likes deep, earthy colours (really not in the top ten right now), I don't try to convince them that light and airy is what is current. It doesn't make any sense to paint your home in colours you don't like just to be "in style". Colour trends come and go, but if you look at really interesting environments you will see that the most obvious characteristic they share is their reflection of the personality of the individuals living there.
I love purple! Do I love it because it is a hot colour choice right now? No, I've always loved it and it has existed in various ways in my home for many years. I love purple in all its guises and it just so happens that I love flowers and there are many purple varieties that are close to my heart...
In my garden...
There are many ways to interpret a purple green colour scheme.
What hue looks best with purple? Just look above, the answer is always in mother nature. Green in my book. If you want a neutral, gray is best.

Try it with a little dash of pink thrown in and make the green chartreuse.
A white sofa permits interesting wall colours. While I love every shade of purple I could not live with it on my walls unless it was so toned it reads as gray.

Think about the blue green of the sea on a quiet summer day for a different take on a purple green combo.
