I think it would look lovely and fresh but as @JennyJ says what it’s near will have an effect

Not wishy-washy in the right surroundings, but maybe it would be if surrounded by strong colours, and it might not show up very well against a pale background. I can imagine it looking good in front of a dark green hedge or fence.

You're right. @JennyJ . I seem to have gone mainly with jewel colours this year so I'll do something else with them. I wish I hadn't bought the white verbena. It looks a bit stark. I think I'll put them alone in a couple of containers and see where they'll fit later on.
For myself I like white flowers with soft blues, pinks, mauves or yellows rather than with strong colours. And with silver or glaucous foliage. Having said that, right now I have white and purple honesty together and I do like it (it's a soft-ish mauve-purple to my eye rather than a jewel-tone purple though).
The lime nicotiana might look well with jewel tones - maybe try it and see!

I think it would look fine if your nicotiana is really lime green not white with a green hint! I love lime green flowers and foliage and find that purple provides a calming contrast and orange turns the dial the other way! I often use the three together.
I always think it’s in the eye of the beholder . You might see it differently to me . I think you should make the decision based upon what you see for yourself .
