Default Brussels turning Purple

One of my Sprouts is turning purple, all plants are doing well, about 9 inches tall and lookiing good. Now one plant (the smallest of the lot) is changing colour. No photo at present, any ideas appreciated.
Thanks, Hammer

Hi Hammer, plants turning purple usually points to a phosphorus deficiency but a photo would be really great please!

Thanks Lesley, just put some Fish, Blood and Bone all purpose plant food on them, contains Phospherous and now the Heavens have opened so no need to water in, strange that it,s only one plant?
