I don't know about that.  Cash Pony is a fiery red chesnut, and his tack is a bright, flame red....and he looks great in it.  Now, on my chesnut mare, and my chesnut/white paint mare, I use the green tack.  Rose, the 1/2 paint could no way pull off the red, Aries, the solid could.  I really like the idea of taking something out of the house and holding it up to them....great idea.

I gree with Kat on this...I don't think anything in the red/orange/pink family of colors looks good on chestnuts.  The greens and blues look the best.

Purple won't look good on a chestnut, so if you choose purple it will be to suit yourself, not your horse.

Of course, your horse doesn't care what color he wears or if it looks good, so no reason not to suit yourself.

So go ahead and go with purple if you like purple, but only people who like purple enough to think it looks good on anything will think it looks good.

Otherwise, some variation on green (e.g. teal and/or turquoise also work) will best complement your horse's color.

Blue won't clash the way that anything with any red in it (ranging from purple to orange as well as pink) will.

Personally, I wouldn't choose black as it can be too overpowering on a chestnut (looks best on grays but can be used on bays as well) and you ohave to be careful in the way you choose from the assortment of browns as some of them work and some don't.
