I had a purple hue to a Sour Diesel i did outside last season.

yep,cold temps cause it for me when growing outside

Yep, I had it on outdoor sour diesel plants to grown from seed this season - it really started coming on when the nighttime temps dipped under 40 degrees F. Started with sugar leaves and bracts both getting some purple. Fan leaves too on the more exposed branches.
pretty normal

My grow is indoor and autoflower, but I took her outside for a flush and she got some fall temp exposure, might be it then. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a sign of something bad to come. Thanks!

Thanks, that was actually a pic of lower larfy stuff but really showed the purple shades in both the flowers and leaves. Take away is that purple is pretty normal during flower. Some strains/phenos will express color strongly even without lower temps as the buds ripen. Yours could be that or the fall temp exposure from venturing outside.

I'm fairly certain all strains will do that when temps get cold enough.

The colder it gets the less the plant can uptake phosphorus. Hence the purple that begins to show.
