I have seen some candy melts that are a purple color. Not a light purple but I'm not sure if it is as dark as you are looking for. I saw them at Hobby Lobby so you could check their site and see the color online. I have heard that you should not use regular food colors since they are water based.
Get the Make N Mold colors for candy melts (usually located right next to the candy melts) - they're specifically made for them. I would start with the purple candy melts and add a little red and a touch of black. HTH
What store do you get them from? (make n mold colors) I'm in Canada & there's no Hobby Lobby here. Are the Make n Mold colors the same as the wilton candy color paste?
Good idea about the red and black, btw, I bet that would work...
I'm sorry - I honestly don't know about the Wilton colors. If they're oil-based, then they'll be fine. I get the Make N Mold colors at Hobby Lobby or Michael's - you should be able to get them on-line.
Actually, if you use Americolor or the Wilton colors, you'd be fine - - just add a little shortening or oil to the melted candy melts so they don't seize up on you.
I'm going to Michaels tonight, I'll see what they have there!
I just found this online... kinda neat, they broke down different shades of different colors and what to add to make them.

I know!!! I never in a million years would have thought of that either!
