Yup, purple is tricky to photograph. Even color film sometimes got it wrong. Some of my in-camera jpegs get it right, while others make purple look blue. So I often use Lightroom for color correction.
I put blue cable housing on my '93 purple Trekenstein 5900, as a reference point. But my Nikon jpegs turn the frame into a different tint of blue. My Android phone gets it right, tho.
But I don't like the blue cable housing. The color isn't bad but the cheap SunLite housing compresses too much, and braking feels mushy.
So I'm switching to bright stinking yellow Jagwire or Shimano housing. And hi-viz yellow bar tape. Might as well flaunt that clash between purple and yellow. 😨
