Mammals only have red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Platelets may appear purple under the microscope because of the stains used - but they are not referred to as 'purple blood cells'. Some white blood cells (eg. neutrophils and eosinophils) may also appear pink and/or light purple when stained with conventional stains (eg. H&E stain) - the nucleus is usually the most purple area of these cells. However, they are still white blood cells (despite looking pink/purple).
