Last time I checked, there weren't any words that rhyme with purple or orange, unless someone dreamt them up.

there are oblique rhymes though, like Orange Porrage. (sp?) the breakfast cereal.

I think "orange" and "doorhinge" rhyme, so do "purple" and "nurple" 😵

there are also other words that have no rhyme (under the true definition, not counting part rhymes)

month
ninth
pint
opus
dangerous
marathon
wolf
discombobulate
silver

i think these are all right, i read it somewhere a while ago, though there may be others, im not sure
