    Purple..Lilac?

    Ok, now that I've settled on the color of my Gunnar (candy plum over graphite silver = deep purple metallic) I need to find at least one matching jersey, more would be fine

    So far I've not found any purple jerseys, lilac would be fine (perhaps). I can seem to find every other color under the sun. Any ideas? I like solids and designs other than geometric designs. I do look good in purple, though am also looking for a screaming yellow or green addition to my cycling wardrobe - but that is easily found. Purple, is not.

    I think it's one of those colors that shows up every few years...

    This one from Ibex comes in dark purple:

    The color is really pretty in person, and the cut is flattering. It's one of my favorites.

    Redrhodie, that's cool looking. I wonder how it sits with what looks like a seam going across the middle like that.

    I've wanted a teal jersey. Next bike I get will be an easy-to-match color.

    It sits nicely. The seam is well placed on me, and I don't notice it physically. Diagonals are supposed to be slimming, so it probably would look good on a lot of body types. The "lava" color is a really dark brown, almost black. It didn't show that way on my monitor.

    They used to have the "Giro" jersey in lavender, too. I have that one, too.
