Me too.  But enough videos that I watched featured individuals who felt
compelled to emphasize that were telco cables are concerned, the colors are
violet and slate, not purple and gray, that I'm willing to take their word
for it.

It kind of reminds me of when Dr. Pulaski met commander Data, and
mispronounced his name as Dat-ah, instead of Day-tah.  He told her how it
was pronounced.  She asked, "What's the difference?"  He replied, "One is my
name, the other is not."  Where the 25 pair telco color code is concerned,
violet and slate are in the color code, purple and gray are not.
