Internet pictures of peas can be really hard to see true colors but the common denominator in Purple is the reddish-brown wings. The barring can look darker or lighter, the necks can look more blue or deep purple, but the shield and wings don't lie. Even the train can look green when it should be bluish-green. Lighting can be harsh in full sun and too dark in shadows. Indirect light is really the best as in this last pic. EDIT, as in the middle pic...
