Hello! I'm a native English speaker. "Purple with rage" is referring to his skin color. "Dark with rage" is more of his mood turning serious or threatening. I haven't heard of skin turning purple from rage, though. It would normally turn red.

Hello, Both sound somewhat strange. I agree with Stephanie that rage is usually associated with the colour red. Skin turning purple is usually associated with choking or asphyxiation.

Im an English speaker native and I don’t think there is any difference between these phrases, also these aren’t common at all, maybe things you would see in literature, it’s more common to say red with rage also, but I wouldn’t naturally use this phrase
