My slides show absolutely no hint of a purple cast and therefore I think I would look at your processors for the problem. Whilst on the subject, it is noticeable how many of the shots that made it to the prestigious "British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards" were shot on this film, which is still very popular.
