"Anthocyanins are responsible for giving purple cannabis strains their vibrant color. They are water-soluble pigments that are present in many plants. They are responsible for giving blueberries their blue color, red grapes their red color and blackberries their black color. These molecules come in a range of colors which include gold, red, dark green, purple, dark blue and black. Temperature, light, pH levels, and structure all play a role in determining the specific color and stability of its pigments.
Just to put this into prospective, the process that causes leaves to change color in the autumn can be explained by the interaction of anthocyanins with other flavonoids. A similar process occurs with certain cannabis strains where they go through a spectrum of colors, including purple. This color change happens with cannabis plants as they reach maturity at the flowering stage as well as when the temperature starts to decrease in the autumn.
However, a strain must be predisposed to turn purple and this depends on its genetic makeup. Certain strains contain more anthocyanins than others. During the “winter” cycle of flowering, their genetic predisposition along with unique chemical factors and their growing environment account for the expression of the purple pigmentation."
