Nick, Sarah, and Tony are painting pictures in the park using the primary colors. However, when Sarah accidentally spills red paint onto blue paint, a mess turns into a “perfectly purple” day. Fun abounds as the kids paint pictures using the color purple, and once Gianna arrives, they make purple flowers and plan a special purple party for their friend, Colleen. Thanks to some special Barney magic, it’s a surprise purple party!
