Interesting find.
I always thought it's just shading (black dots). Just checked mine and it's indeed different.
I believe the "dark purple" is Lego's "167 Dark Violet", a rarish colour believed to be exclusive to prints around 1998-2003. Since no true equivalent exists, this is probably something where we would need to go for a direct colour instead.
