I did the same thing to my Dell laptop in college when purple LEDs first became available. And a year or so prior to that (when my google results were still fruitless), I swapped blue LEDs in like you, and got a purple-ish result by putting some pink paper between the LED and the numlock icon (or whichever it was). I was fascinated to find that the paper faded to white after a few weeks as a result.
These days I like yellow, but am lazy and just put kapton tape over the white LEDs on my desktop...

The legend is that they secured an exclusivity agreement with Nichia for that colour for some years, but the reality is much likelly be it just being expensive, and hard to source.
