If you still have the MSI Manual, I would check it out on what they say. But it is my understanding that you place the memory in same color slots.

So I would keep your old ram in the Purple slots and put new ram in the Green slots.

Hope this helps you out.

In some MBs, you go with the same-colored slots, with others, you go with the different-colored slots. Checking your manual is the way to go.
