I had a colleague who used to tech with some chemical he ordered in the

[quickly]for small items in a hotel sink. The powder turned the water light
purple. I remember a designer panicking when she saw the whites in a purple
bath, but they came out a perfect brownish tint.

I don't remember what chemical it was he was using. It was like  Iodine,
y'know....purple but tuned everything it touched to brown. Does anyone  know 
what
I'm talking about?

It sounds like potassium permanganate. Although I could be wrong--chemistry class was a long time ago.
