Late-appearing Lavender?

[Poppy243]

Hey guys.
So my female leo is into the mid-30g range, and just a bit ago tonight when I was putting her away, I noticed something different: the appearance of lavender-coloring. She just shed a few days ago, so it's extremely recent. I've noticed some purpley bumps on her back before, but it wasn't really that prominent, and it was so close to the dark markings on her back I just kinda discounted it as anything. But now, it's more noticeable. I'm going to try to get a picture posted of it tomorrow afternoon when I go back over there (she's staying with my boyfriend who also noticed it when I said something to him). It's reminiscent of Designer Gecko's Violet, but not as much of the lavender in the back spots, it's mostly just edging the spots. But I'm not sure where this came from! When I purchased her, Ben Siegel Reptiles had her advertised as het Tremper albino, blizzard, and eclipse. No mention of lavender. I'm going to contact him and see if he remembers anything more about her breeding. I know these geckos change pattern and color for a while, but this late? Is that normal to see lavender appearing this late? And where could it have come from? There's been no other real change in her coloring, other than a bit of brightening of orange near the base of her tail. She's "normal" in that she doesn't appear to show any distinctive morph that I can see, though her genetics probably caused the interesting leopard-looking spots on her back.
Pics will be posted as soon as I can, if I can catch the lavender-looking tinge on camera.

EDIT: I just found the picture from her auction on Ben Siegel's FB, and there does appear to be some light coloring within the leopard spots. So the color has been there, and other pictures show it, but I don't remember it actually looking so purple as what I saw last night, something seems different. I'm going to take a look later, and try to see what difference I'm actually seeing…

The lavendar appears as the black bands start to fade and break up. Is the lavendar that seems to have appeared suddenly in a place where it was formerly yellow, or was it black? Most of my geckos go through a lavendar phase as they mature, but very few of them are lavendar into adulthood.

It was somewhat whitish there before, in the picture I originally found of her, then it seemed to get more yellow, from what I remember, then all of a sudden I noticed some actual purple coloring. Some other, more recent pictures i have, from before her last shed, do show the color difference that's always been there, but it never really caught my attention, though I knew it was there. I have this thing that when something is different than what I'm used to, I tend to notice distinctly, even though I may not immediately be able to pinpoint what it is at the time. I would expect her to change somewhat… if she were a little younger. The last time I weighed her she was about 32g, I'm sure she's grown a little bit more since then, as it's been a few weeks.
There's a picture of her here that can kinda show where the color difference on her back is: http://geckoforums.net/f3-introduce-yourself/96567.htm The picture quality and lighting is poor (taken on a phone), but you can see within the leopard spots a color difference. However, the other night, what I thought I saw was something more purple than what I was used to seeing.

Looks to me like her bold markings are starting to fade. They may turn into circles, or spots and the lavender may fill in with yellow. Many leos continue to change until their a couple of years old. You'll have to wait and see! One of my favorite parts of raising up young leos

She's got some faded dots on her sides and back. I think it may be from the Eclipse in her, it seems like they usually have faded looking spots. I love that she's got the bold leopard-print looking marks down the center of her back, and that's where the color difference shows up.
