The main antagonists in the Halo universe, the covenant, have a range of colours running throughout their colour scheme but the colour that appears most prominently is Purple. The colour purple is most associated with royalty and reverence which is a highly relevant colour for that of the covenant. The covenant are led by a royal race whose prophets are their religious icons and these prophets act as the kings and political leaders in the covenant. This royal theme runs throughout the convenant's weaponry and armoury. The covenant's ships and vehicles all have a purple metal they're made out of and the levitating thrones on which the prophets sit are also purple. This idea of royalty and being the superior race is all made very clear with the purple and it also helps to emphasize the fact that the covenant aren't human as purple isn't a colour that human's would use in our military. The scene above is a shot from the covenants holy city "High Charity". As you can see purple dominates the whole piece and the pink lighting from below the platforms help to bring out the pinkish and purple of the surrounding environment.
