Periwinkle blue is a fantastic with this tree's foliage (err toward purple)!

Red violet and purple are the opposite (complemtary) of lime green and yellow on the color wheel, but it would be impossible to find a larger pot with those colors. Hehe

They had a purple/gray one not long ago sell on FB auction. One of Walter Pall's that Jennifer Price was selling. They make them...or, speak with one for commission. But I think sliding into the blues could also work.

@aphid Do you restrict your choices within those ten colours?

It didn't allow me to put in more so I put in colors that are easier to find. What do you have in mind? :)

It's a nursery plant. I cut some of the top off so I could fit it in my car. I'll keep it in a 21" rectangular colander pot or a plastic tub probably. I do have a mustard colored pot this big, Sorce. LOL

For a tree with the name full moon wouldn't you use a green cheese color?

... ...What do you have in mind?
Something very dark, almost black.
This is out of instinct, I mind you. I know nothing of pots, as I said elsewhere...
Just my own aesthetics.
I believe it would contrast in a stunning way the golden leaves.

For this reason I voted dark brown.

I have settled on purple. These lime green sedums do look nice with this multi-hole planter I have.

It's too large for my pond basket. I changed the angle to train for cascade. One of these purple planters should be easy to find.
