Purple, Silver or Orange =)

No English word rhymes with orange, silver, purple or month. There are some words that are no longer used that supposedly refute this like hirple or curple, but neither can be found in a normal dictionary so I don't think they count.

Orange is one of those words that famously has nothing perfectly to rhyme with it. The other one is silver. However, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary does show both these words as having half-rhymes (such as lozenge with orange and salver with silver). purple also has no rhyme

Ah, the old rhyme question. According to poetic rules, only the last syllable of the word has to rhyme.
Therefore, fringe will will rhyme with orange, over with silver, and people with purple.

I'm assuming you are looking for full rhymes (the hardest). I'm going for the two word solution for the hard ones.
Purple: Burble
Silver: Kill Her
Orange: War Whinge

I saw a couple with a purple face,
silver ornament on their body,
flower dorned on their self,
eating oranges on the lounge.
