God isn't colour blind. As a graphic artist, I happen to know a thing or two about colour.

Originally, the dye which was used to make purple clothes was called "Tyrian purple." (It was pretty expensive, what with being made from sea snail mucous and all.)

The shades that Tyrian purple dye weren't necessarily violet-purple goodness as people know it today... the "purple" applied to the name of the dye, really. Wikipedia actually does a pretty good job showing up why a cloak might easily be called both crimson and purple.
