"It's kind of an indescribable blend of purple and blue and pink,

That you really can't see unless you shine an ultraviolet flashlight on them........

FWIW, you can find tomato worms on your tomato plants at night with the flashlight because they will glow too......

It was recently discovered that platypuses also glow.

they live underground most of the time

it seems simple that such an ability would offset any weakness in the ability of their eyesight to otherwise see in the dark, they would at least not miss or miss identify each other as the pattern of the glow likely varies from individual to individual
