Default Dark purple Sapphire springs?

Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Since I owned the saph I always thought it was on standard suspension however I took a torch to the shocks whilst mooching around doing an oil change to notice the front springs are dark purple?

Does anyone know which make they are? They are on standard motocraft shocks

Can't find any purple springs anywhere listed for a sierra.

Cheers

Never heard of purple ones ,maybe the previous owner got some new standard Ford ones powdercoated or sprayed that colour just to be a bit different. I have Eibach lowered springs on mine and they are red.
