Possibly the most ignored sentence in the PHB, even by Wotc themselves:

Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red.

Purple is a shade of red, trust me I'm a colorist

I can do you a few of the most ignored pages in the PHB: I've yet to meet a table that uses Trinkets

I had a Tortle Kensei Monk (Ninja Turtle) that had 77 on the trinket table. "A gemstone that looks like a lump of coal when examined by anyone but you." In one of dungeons we were in, I lost it trying to bribe our way out after the BBEG captured us. I was bummed about it ever since, it was my prized possession. Later on in the campaign I came across a genie who asked us to run off or kill the Aboleth that had taken over his home. In return he would grant us a wish. I've never come across a genie ever in my 25 years of playing DND. The group was reluctant to fight it, so I lied and told them we would all get wishes. We defeated the Aboleth and go to ask for wishes. I ask him if we can all have wishes and he shuts that down fast. Before the group can come to a consensus about what to wish for, I blurted out that I wish for my trinket back. Poof, it appeared and now I'm one happy tortle. My companions, not so much.

Our group likes to roll on that table and then never bring up their trinkets in game. Such a missed opportunity

It counts if you consider every color with some amount of red in it a shade of red

Example: #dcd2f0 (my tiefling's skin color)
