Not seen purple tomatoes but have seen and eaten purple potatoes, which are softer then white and even yellow/gold.

Absolutely.
We have a variety here called Kumato which is readily available:
It's not as purple as the one you posted, but I buy the Kumato variety quite often, so I'd definitely be on board with a more purple one, it would look great in a salad.

I get the Kumatos at Trader Joe's. They are one of my favorites!

That looks really cool and I would totally try it.
I've ordered from Baker Creek in the past and I haven't had a lot of success with their seeds. Lots of things didn't grow or produce well and one tomato in particular, while very a very pretty deep pink/black mixture, had terrible flavor.

While I don't buy into the nonsense that genetically modified foods = bad (newsflash: every modern crop is heavily modified from its ancestors!) there's already heritage tomato varieties that are purplish like Cherokee Purple. Picking your food for looks over flavour seems a bit silly.
Our go-to's are Yellow Pear and Italian Roma. Of the two the pear variety is more forgiving and makes lots of small fruits rather than single large tomatoes.
