Answers:
Purple is such a large family of colors.
Depending on the color, shade, tint, tone; you could go with greens, like moss green or olive green, even lime green depending on your taste and the color; (light if the purple is dark, dark if the purple is light), or beige tones.
Find a print accent material that has your shade of purple in it, make throw pillows or curtains with it and accessorize with the other colors in the material.
Complimentary colors, like various shades of purple, or contrasting colors, like various shades of yellow.
what kind of purple? dark? light?
depending on the look you're going for, you could "anchor" the colour with a neutral such as brown, taupe, grey? but it depends on the colour purple.
Light green or a pale yellow. You need a light color to brighten the room.
Mauve or burgandy---it's still in the same color family. I used this scheme in my living room with purple, I get lots of compliments. If you want contrast go to the other side of the color wheel and choose greens or yellows.

Since purple tends to be dark then you want to go with something very light like white to make the room look larger. For accents you might wish to use gold since purple is historically a royal color.
