Color palette help

I am using a really light yellow (#fff3d9) and I want to use purples to compliment it but I'm having issues finding a good color palette generator to help me figure out which purples. Anyone know of a good tool to use? Or anyone good enough will color to tell me some good purples to go with that? So far about as far as I know is that I know I want a purple that is almost black to be for my text elements but other than that I have no idea exactly how I want to go.

I've dabbled a bit in Photoshop, and I kind of like these three: #691a77, #b083b8, #73497a

In any case, I'd definitely stay on the redder side of purple, rather than the bluer, though (:

Thanks! Your last color became the basis of my purple shading.

Thanks for the help with that. I kind of am trying to do something similar to the wpportfolio in the wordpress section except with the yellow as the white and using the purples as the grays/black. That gave me some compliments to work with for the portfolio pieces and helped me find more.
