Strangely enough, you screenshot looks ok here. 

However I can reproduce the effect. Have you checked Edit -> Preferences ->
Color Management.

If it is on, try turning it off. Here the effect comes from the monitor profile.

Willing to bet, if you colour pick your 'purple' paint, it comes out RGB 0,0,255
