 Don't know about purple  but  caulies can be affecrted by the weather .It is quite common for  some summer caulies to  have a pink tinge ..  There are some out that are resistant to this  think Gypsy f1  is one of these ..
Cheers .. Jim

Its heritage might have something to do with i.e. it might have been bred/crossed with a 'purple variety' at sometime.
