I purchased this for my husband to go with his purple dress shirts; but, unfortunately the description is not entirely accurate.  It states that this is a "Blue and Purple" tie.  Actually, it is ONLY Blue.  There is no Purple in it.  The Blue is more of a Royal Blue color.  It is very pretty and still classy looking, but it is not going to work with my husband's purple dress shirts.  I will continue to look for a tie with Purple color in it.
