The purple haze wasn't by any magical process... just by following the rules of atmospheric (or linear) perspective. Generally, the more air/haze that is between you and the subject makes the subject lighter and the colors more muted. So the farthest peaks will appear to blend into the sky. So I decided to keep the closest darks still pretty light and the colors pretty muted.
The sky is actually very close to a neutral gray but it leans towards viridian green. And the closest darks are mostly Ultramarine+Alizarin Crimson+Ivory Black. Even though teachers and some artists have a vendetta against ivory black, its ok to use as long as you realize it is a really low chroma blue. So I just used it to lower the chroma of ultramarine and then shifted the color towards purple with just a little alizarin crimson.
Here's a work in progress shot with my palette in front. The colors that are shown there are the only ones I used in the painting.
