one simple possibility could be that some colors change color depending on pH, that's how pH indicators work, a dye that's one color at one pH and another at another. like for example red cabbage is red if you add a little vinegar, keep it acidic, otherwise it turns blue.


Oooooo... what could I add to keep it more purple?


try a little (balsamic) vinegar? if it needs to be more acidic, that will work. if it needs to be more basic, can't help then, don't want to be adding lye or baking soda to the food....BLECK! LOL!
