Purple Lightsaber

The purple lightsaber was actually specifically created for Samuel L. Jackson's character Mace Windu.

However, it's since gone on to be representative of his character's traits.

Purple lightsabers represent Jedi who are more ambiguous with their relationship to the force and have abilities in both light and dark techniques.
