I hope this isn't a bad sign; purplish tint to Vision3 500T in ECN-II before drying

I was so happy that my Vision3 5219 negs came out so nice on the last round of developing. Imagine my shock this time to stick so close to the process but to see that my negs weren't that bright orange color from last time but a darker almost purplish color!
They are in the dryer now but I'm a bit bummed.

Any idea why?

I don't even know if it's significant or if it will ruin anything I just know it's not the same.

Well, I think I may have panic'd prematurely. When the negs dried they looked slightly more brown than the previous batch (they are from a different film batch) but not purple. They looked ok,and I also I realized that I shot them at 800 unlike the previous set of negs shot at 320.

Fresh chems or are you reusing your developer? Many color processes exhibit a cast before drying.
