I'm going to grow some purple and yellow carrots this year, just for a change.
My main observation re the purple ones (which often appear in our organic veg delivery in the summer) is that if you put them in a soup or stew, they'll turn it bright purple! I don't mind eating individual vegetables that are an unusual colour, but soup the colour of blackcurrant yogurt is a step too far
Hence I prefer to eat them steamed or raw, or maybe oven-roasted with herbs and garlic.
