I agree. If you keep the purple plainish then you have the freedom to go wild on the extra bits. Take the time to really make the eyes, tabard, gun and any dangly bits look good and the basic armour colour won't matter. You can even do as I do and paint glyphs onto the armour itself. Perhaps in golden yellow, to bring out the purple or enchanted blue to really stand out. Just don't go overboard and have too many separate colours in one model.
You also can jazz up the back a bit by doing the pouches and knives a bit fancy (glyphs/bright colours/glow effects) and the poison tubes could have bubbles in or even a colour gradient to represent a mix that has settled a bit.
