Exact color matching is tricky business. With what kilt are you wearing them?

I would say there is no need to match the colour of the hose. Perhaps try to match the colour of the tie to another colour in the kilt. Here is an example of what I mean.

I don't think it matters what colour tie, but as Glen says pick up a similar plain colour from your kilt or alternatively a diagonally striped military, club or association tie. here's a pic of me with a red tie with purple hose. -

Absolutely smashing! Everything "works" so well with your attire, Simon. A wonderful example for the OP.

Another option is to match your tie and your flashes

McMurdo,

I love the colors of the kilt and the entire outfit, but the cat looks almost worried that he is going to be made into a sporran. Notice the similarity of the fur on him and the sporran. LOL

I have a pair of the Rannoch hose in purple, however, I have never bothered with matching my tie to the hose colour (or really to anything else for that matter). I wouldn't worry too much if the purple of your wool tie is a shade darker than that of the Rannoch hose. Honestly, I think that would look far more intersting than if your tie was a precise colour match to your hose. Another thing to consider is maybe opting for a tie in shade of yellow/gold (think more on the darker, yellow ochre/more subdued side - nothing too bright and overbearing), since yellow is a complimentary colour of purple. Of course when going this route, the tartan of your kilt and your jacket colour may dictate if the whole ensemble will actually work or not, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I tend to wear this tie when wearing my purple hose, but remember, I am not consciously thinking about matching my tie to the hose:
