Best Encore color for mixed border

I want to try some re-blooming azaleas in my mixed border. Just in terms of azaleas in general, I love the pinks and white/blotched colors, but I was trying to think what color(s) would tend to go best in a mixed border since the azalea will bloom off & on when other stuff is blooming at different times--yellow bulbs in spring, daylilies and some roses in summer, some leaf change in fall, and lots of green.

Purple is one of those colors that blends well--goes with hot colors and pastels, pinks or oranges--maybe Autumn Royalty--wasn't sure if it's really "purple" enough, or more fuschia. The other color that seems good is a rich dark rose-pink. ( Of course white "blends", but I thought it might look too dotty.)

Anyone else experimented with these colors and how they work throughout the garden season?
