The most impressive thing about this picture is not that
Varraline of
Pyreal Dream on Elune (US-A) managed to get three tallstriders together in one shot. No, it's that Varraline has somehow coordinated an entire purple and green Darkmoon Faire outfit to match her mount. And it's not just the outfit -- it's the whole picture! The tent, the banner, the purple elf skin and the green fireworks. I salute you, Varraline, for your dedication to one of the ugliest color combinations possible, one that is only seen at the Darkmoon Faire, Wimbledon and Mardi Gras -- three events where most of the people attending are too drunk to notice how awful purple and green are together.

I think I'll give myself a grade of "Uldum" for incorporating pop culture references into that post. I need a lock to prevent myself from computer access within an hour of waking up.

Well, there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety. Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

Your just jealous of my incredible fashion sense! Or perhaps this brought back some repressed Barney memories or something.
In all seriousness though, I do like those two colors together. Dunno why, they just go!
Anywho, thanks for picking mah screenie.

I tend to toss them together at every chance as well. Back in 7th grade my art tag it class was a yin yang sunflower where the yin yang was green and purple. Love the pic, can't wait to get my tallstrider!

I like purple and green together (also with black) because those are Maleficent colors. And Maleficent was the most badass fairy ever.

You have a problem with purple and green together? Cause i know of one person who would take umbrage at that.... and he has this whoopie cushion he would like you to sit on.... or else....

I always thought it was interesting that comicbooks made frequent use of purple and green together, especially on villains. DC has The Riddler and Lex Luthor.
Marvel has The Hulk. I'm sure there's more than I missed.
Brimoonfang Jan 3rd 2012 12:54PM
The Joker!
That's who I missed.
WTB ability to edit my posts...

If you think those are the only places where you see purple and green together, you've plainly never been to the Discworld.

Awww, come on. That's one of my favorite color combinations. Purple and green rule together. They are perfectly discordant in their mismatched congruence.
Tori Jan 3rd 2012 2:52PM
Purple and green is my favourite colour combination. My transmog set is built upon that:

What an odd title for an article. I hadn't heard anything about this.
