Hi There is an expression: 'purple patch' which means a period of success or good luck. Also there is an expression: 'purple passage': writing or a piece of writing that is too grand in style. So I think currently 'purple' is a shortening either of these.

This seems to make no sense. Are you sure it is not just a typo for the word 'puzzle'?
