Purple & Ketostix

I have finally started drinking 64 oz every day which is probably the reason.

Why do I cringe every time I read this purple = dehydration? Everytime a question comes up on Ketostix, there are lots of posts to it telling people that they are probably dehydrated if they are purple.
I drink 15-20cups a day and my sticks always turn purple. I'm definitely not dehydrated and I have been advised by my family doctor that to take that down to 15 cups or less as my uric acid levels are through the roof.
Purple doesn't always mean dehydration, it could mean you are just burning well!!!!!
