This was an interesting thread and altho I'm finding it a bit belated, I'd have to agree.
I had 'purple heart' that was so green as a winter houseplant that it even made the fuzz on the leaves seem different! In fact, I later got cuttings from someone else as I thought I had the wrong variety!

Once they were both outside for summer they matched perfectly ( in fuzz and color). It was just the lower light levels in the house. This is Feb in a east window. It is mostly purple right now.
My next post will be the same variety outside in summer.
