Unfortunately, without photos it can be hard to diagnose issues.Purple and limp can mean a few things, but usually it has to do with overwatering.
Sometimes it is an issue with phosphorus, and sometimes it can mean that there is pH imbalance.
Sometimes it can be a combination of things, or be due to cold, as well.
What I can do, in the meantime, is point you in the direction of a good article that will help you to grow tomatoes to their potential.
