URB or Acid Rain on the lid with Graffiti in the crease.

Graffiti is gorgeous! I fell in love with this color the first time I saw it, but I passed in favor of some of the more neutral Deluxe e/s. I finally bought it at Sephora a few months ago, and I should've gotten it from the beginning! It's just gorgeous, definitely the prettiest green I own.

I think it'd be pretty paired with Acid Rain.

i know its so vibrant!!! i eye it at LEAST once a week when i go to Sephora and swatch it everytime trying to justify the purchase but im always overwhelmed by all the goodies that i cant pick anything to go with it. So i have to go in with a clear head on exactly what to look at lol!
im going to swatch both togther to see how i liek them on my skin together!
Thanks so much!

Graffiti is gorgeous. If you want to tone it down a bit, try pairing it with a more neutral shade, like Midnight Cowboy. Or use it as a liner

If you want to stick with greens all over, I would pair it with Acid Reign or Urb.

Ok, i ended up getting the Deluxe pallette, whcih has grafiti, bought a green top that is basically the SAME color as grafiti so i figured it'd be perfect to try it out, i put it on this morning on my whoel lid and was like "whoa" so i just put ummm the neutral shade in the bottom left corner of the pallette on the inner half of the lid and blended. The final look came out ok, but i think it was a little, well not looking good, so coudl i do a neutral like almost skin color on the lid and grafiti lightly swept throught the crease? or would it look better with a light green lid and grafiti in the creas?

I think you could easily do either look.
It doesn't necessarily have to be paired with another green, although that's pretty too.
It'd still be bright and fun paired with a neutral, but just not as in your face like when you put it on the lid.
I've paired it with different shades, and I think it's pretty versatile.

Since you said you couldn't find any on here, I went to MUA to see if I could find some pictures. Check out these:

I especially like the pic in the 2nd link pairing it with silver eyeshadow. I hadn't thought of that, but it's gorgeous.
