The basil is indeed purple, but it is not growing as fast as some of the other plants. Maybe you need to make sure it is getting enough light and is not shaded by the others.

As such it may have purple leaves and green ones on the same plant OR it might revert back to the green color of the parent plant. They recommended trimming some of the leaves and seeing if the new ones don't grow back in purple. The only information I found to explain this is that purple basil is a hybrid.
