I am going to be putting together a new coop kit I bought and painting it. My 4 year old autistic daughter has her heart set on me painting it purple, which is her favorite color. Although I hate the idea of painting anything purple, like any dad, I can't disappoint her. So my problem is what color to match with purple. The only color I can think of that usually goes with purple is pink, and I just don't think I can bring myself to do it. So does anyone have any ideas on what other colors to try to two tone with the purple? Here is a picture of what the completed coop looks like to give you an idea:

 
Seems like of the choices available you could either harmonize with the purple, or contrast it...I'd go with a paler shade of the purple in the same hue...like a lavender. Remember, there is ten thousand shades of purple - check out the Martha Stewart color palette, they have some great colors. Even a slate grey would compliment purple. (Purple is the new brown...your daughter has talent) :)

I was thinking two shades of purple too. Check out the Eggplant Coop, they did a beautiful job using purple.
 
Another designer trick is to incorporate one color of your existing palette into the new designs, say for instance, Your house has a green theme, ue that green to paint the eaves along the roof and around the door, then paint the door a deeper color...it will look intentional. Loads of options.
