The association between purple and mystery can be explained by purple's own elusive nature: purple does not show up frequently in nature, making it an exceedingly rare (and sought after) color. It also represents a part of the color spectrum the human eye is the least sensitive to. [[TechnicolorMagic Magic]] and things [[MarkOfTheSupernatural related to the Occult]] are frequently shaded purple and violet to emphasize their unknowable (to regular folks) nature, mixing this trope and PurpleIsPowerful (this does '''not''' mean, however, that every purple-colored/associated magic or otherwordly thing by default falls under this trope; see TechnicolorMagic for that). Shading a night sky filled with OminousClouds and OminousFog purple to indicate the presence or coming of something mysterious (and often dangerous) for atmosphere is quite common in animation.
