In Amethyst Color (Persian: به رنگ ارغوان, romanizedBe Rang-e Arḡavān) (poor-translated as the In Purple Color and The Color Purple) is a 2005 Iranian film directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia and starring Hamid Farokhnezhad and Farhad Ghaemian.

The film was banned from screening in Iran for some years by the order of the Ministry of Intelligence because the film depicts the actions of an undercover Iranian intelligence officer.[1]
