Color theory

Dark-Desaturated-Red-Blue Kats just doesn't sound as good as Black Kats.

Because purple is the new black. The laws of gaming say so.

Using a solid black texture would be lazy, besides we need a way to tell Black magic monsters from Swarm monsters

PS. nice choice of IGN

Cuz Black Kats in folklore

Cuz Black Kats in folklore are pretty unlucky, and the whole story involving the purpley Black Kats talks about how Margrel was the unluckiest of all the Kats.

plus Black Kat has a better ring to it than Purple Kat. ;3

Addy is spot on.

In traditional superstition, if a black cat were to cross your path, you are cursed with bad luck.

So, Black Kats are themselves unlucky, and are curse themed - meaning they retain a purple colour, very similar to Carnavons.

Also that, yeah. The curse

Also that, yeah. The curse status in SK is generally purple-related, even the Faust line is purpley.

I was going to post ...

But Whimsicality already made the TV Tropes reference I was going to, so I'll just back out now.
