Violet (not purple) budgerigars aren't as common as lighter colors, but they are not extremely rare. Violet budgerigars have a genetic mutation that causes their black pigment to be more concentrated than a normal budgerigar. Blue and violet budgies aren't actually blue. They are gray, but the structure of their feathers reflects the light and makes the gray pigment look blue. This is the same for all birds with blue (or green) feathers. A normal (green) budgie is actually yellow with grey markings, but it looks green because the grey pigment looks blue.
