Here's photos of the two color variant Grammostola porteri that seems to be the case anyways. I can't say that both are two separate species but regardless I have two males of each as well one matured already the other waiting for a molt before I post photo of him.

My craigslist porteri has that beautiful violet hue as well, very different from another porteri I also bought from craigslist.

one thing I noticed about the "Violet Hue" it does not have the highlight "Blue" on the femur, and the whole body seems to be a bit darker than the other porteri with the "Pink" carapace which has the highlight "Blue" on the femur.

You also see a difference between them thanks for posting your photo.
