It happens in IDLE. If I change the spacing (delete an empty line say)  
the color will change.  Experimenting a little bit, the default seems  
to be orange. When I indent at all, it changes to purple. However,  
occasionally, it's purple without being indented (can't figure out  
anything in particular that causes this), though in every instance  
where this happens, I can change it back to orange by manipulating the  
spacing (adding an empty line, and then deleting it seems to do the  
trick).

Thanks.
