I don't know. I think it's just as likely they had not drawn up the silhouette until after they had recorded the episode. Either that or they suffer some kind of deficiency. There is no lighting that would make gray or "silver" hair look purple. I mean, okay, some people do say that gray paint can look purple due to shades of blue or purple which may have been mixed in prior to purchase. But Mercury's hair doesn't look purple in the initial reveal. It is purple. I suppose it could have been a joke to make it more difficult for us to figure him out. But seriously, there's no ambiguity to his hair color. Being in shadow doesn't turn somebody's hair color from gray to purple. That's like saying somebody's hair will change from blonde to green. Moreover, how can the same lighting that makes his hair apparently look purple still leave his shirt looking gray? I'm just saying, I hope "low-lighting" is not the excuse the execs will go with because I'll be extremely disappointed if that's how they think.
