Pure iodine is violet. It can act as an electron acceptor (an acid/ oxidizer <-- because it is taking negative charges (aka electrons) from something, leaving that something with an overall positive charge). When iodine is in a solvent that doesn't donate electrons it stays violet. When it is in water or ethanol the iodine accepts electrons from the oxygen atom which then affects the wavelength of visible light that it absorbs, this means that the colour changes. In my experience, the iodine turns water dark brown/ orange.

What color is iodine when mixed with water what color is iodine when mixed with mineral oil?
I think it depends on the mixtures. When I mixed a store bought solution of iodine (2.5% iodine and 2.5% potassium iodide) in water it was brown. But when I added heavy mineral oil and mixed them, the mineral oil layer was a brilliant pink/purple colour. Really impressive. NR Pure iodine is violet. It can act as an electron acceptor (an acid).
