Teknic, Alpinestars and Cortech all tend to have more subtle styling, in basic colors (black, white, gray, red, blue). Really most ANY brand will have these colors, it's jsut that the bright stuff is what they tend to market more.

generally the major manufacturer's gear colors tend to go with the basic bike colors - red, black, blue, Kawi green, yellow, gray.... then like I said, the girly colors are pink and blue.

There's a REALLY cute new A* jacket in mesh or textile that's gray with gray/black camo inserts, or green with green camo (not purple, but it's cool they're finally doing something OTHER than pink and blue )

Icon does (sorry ), and then I know the Joe Rocket Phoenix 2.0 for ladies (mesh) comes in Purple (I have it in white and I LOVE it... it has three sliders across the back to get the waist and hip fit just right)
