Purple skin?
Isn't her skin suppose to be pink? I noticed this after we were playing. Or is this normal and fine? It's not hot or anything, just purple!

That's what I was thinking. Didn't she have the staple problem, or was that someone else?

Purple skin?
Most probably it's just pigmentation but I'd see the vet just in case. I know many diseases can cause discoloration of skin in dogs, so it will be good for your vet to rule all that out.
I really don't see it being too dark from the picture but you are the best judge. Sent from Petguide.com Free App

It's not really dark, maybe it's just the lighting? Because now her legs look fine

I think it has something to do with circulation... Grace gets blue/purple skin like that randomly. Maybe she kinked something while playing...who knows.
I do know it goes away  But if it worries you, take her in
