Inspiration Board Wednesday: Brilliant Purple

Oh purple...how underused you really are and how striking of a color palette you create!  Seriously though...why is this amazing color so neglected?  Does is still have a weird stigma from the 80's?  I don't get it...when I see it paired with interesting colors it makes me LOVE it!
