Purple & Green...
Just a very quick post.. I steamed some Purple Congo potatoes, & yes the flesh remained a nice purple colour. But what amazed me was the colour of the water.... It had turned green! Possibly the coloured starchy liquid from the potatoes had reacted with the stainless steel?
Love this photo. It looks beautiful. I think you might be right about the chemical reaction. Did the color of the water change later on? In some cases, when you add a drop of lemon to the water that has gone from turquoise to gray - it changes back to turquoise.

How interesting about the water! Gosh, that potato is really very purple - it's gorgeous.
