30 years young! could you please try what tobias suggested? the
slightly longer answer is that Lab is an interesting colour space, so
is your camera rgb. the colour matrix produces mostly matching colours
for usual tones, but due to the linear approximation this matrix
represents, it pushes out colours that are considered less important
(the blues in this case).

these out-of-gamut/imaginary stimuli result in negative L values in
the pipeline. that's a non-issue if you just convert to Lab and back.
as soon as you enable any module that makes reasonable assumptions
about Lab (like, L >= 0), you'd clip the values to the gamut of Lab,
resulting in the purple cast.

hope that helps.
