I use a calibrated display - and am not aware of any color blindness on my part.
I notice though that the current coloring trend goes for 'not loud' colors and 'minimal contrast'. Have not much issue for that with backgrounds, lines, icons, additional (visual) information, etc. but with information that has to be readable and matters, i feel it is over-applied. In the US there exists the ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act - which also provides useful resources. I'm aware that sites have different compliance needs. A rule of thumb for contrast is: just slightly squint, and if it disappears (completely), it just does not have enough contrast. It's that simple.
...purple was just an option that is distinctive from the other colors used... any color providing the proper contrast 'without yelling' and is clearly different from already used colors is fine with me.
