We (meaning 'You' 
) should write a movie named Starassic Park, about space-dinosaurs ... maybe advancing the theory that they didn't die out, but were abducted by aliens and soon evolved to takeover their captors!

Like the Knights of Ni from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail?

Only George Lucas knows for sure. it's his decision and the way he liked it, maybe there wasn't and specific "why" about the colors. Under the same thinking, we may also question "why purple? why not blue? or yellow?"
Or to become more crazy: "Why do they fight with lightsabers? Why not with regular sabers?" Or perhaps with some mental powers to follow the futuristic line 
And think about it, back in 1976 when it was made, the way the "futuristics" things were imagined was very different of the "futuristic" of nowadays.

I thought they 'closed the vault' on that! If anything, I think they should reshoot the whole thing, maybe with a slightly different storyline ... with TIME-TRAVEL

I don't think so, but I wouldn't throw off that mantel if they laid it upon me

Why don't you consider green a futuristic color? Are you a greenaphob? 
How dare you treat green aliens in such a disrespectful manner! It's not easy being green, you know! PAh... purple aliens. 
Yoda is just fine being green.
Next you're going to say he should have been eight feet tall.

I dunno; it just seems like everything naturally TURNS green in nature, and it seems like the Jedi would be ahead of the curve on that.

Purple!?!? What about a nice metalic green - or grayish silver? But purple? Sheesh! lol!!
Boo on purple - it's a little girlish don't you think?

What makes deep purple the "wisest" color? How is it the most experienced? Maybe dark green is - or black even since it has the presence of all colors...?

Back in Roman times, only the emperor could wear purple! (Maybe it had something to do with the fruit they got the dye from, but the respectability stuck!)
Violet is the last color in the rainbow ... 'saving the best for last,' they always are ...

Deep purple isn't girlish, but that lighter one fades into pink ... "yuck!" 
I said 'purple' because it's the 'wisest' (most-experienced) of the colors.

I was thinking of a darker-purple, like I'm sure you would see in his jungle.

I truly like the green Yoda alot and don't think that purple would really be his color. Mace Windew (srry for the spelling) had a purple light saber and Yoda had green so Yoda matches his saber color!!!

But Mace himself was brown-skinned! Since HIS saber was purple, don't you think Yoda's should've been a different color too?

Well, maybe I meant 'more-supernatural and not-so-much biological'
