It's just one more sign of the devastating power of Hurricane-turned-Tropical-Storm Harvey. The National Weather Service (NWS) has had to add two colors to the ones it uses to indicate rainfall levels on weather maps.
Dark purple now represents 15-20 inches. The new map also uses a plum color to show rainfall of 20-30 inches and a pinkish lavender to show rain greater than 30 inches. Yes, a grim use of Prince's famed "purple rain."
