The purple colour is one of the main reasons I didn't end up using it in my house

All the LSOH that I could see to buy was purple and 80% the runs I was using it for where CCTV cameras where a small section of the end of the run was going to be visible, pinned to a wall. And I didn't really want that visible cable to be purple.

All my Cat6a is in the wall, under the floor or in the ceiling. If it comes out somewhere it turns into a wall plate. The exception being ceiling mounted WiFi access points but the wire is not visible there either. Visible wires are a no no in my book.

That said you could have always jacketed the cable with heat shrink to match whatever colour you wanted mind you.

In reply to a post by Pheasant:

Fibre (LAN) often has jacket colours which distinguish singlemode (yellow) from multimode (aqua blue or orange). I patch by colours too. It’s a quick way to distinguish things.

Usually but not always OM1 is grey, OM2 is orange and OM3 up god only knows but it is mostly cyan these days. I have seen purple in the past but I think that was dropped as most LSZH is purple and it is easily confused.
