Yes, purple leaves can contain starch, as starch is a common carbohydrate storage molecule in plants. Starch can be found in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where it is used for energy storage and can contribute to the purple coloration of leaves.

The shamrock or 'oxalis' is a plant with three leaves. It can have white or purple flowers. Sometimes the white flowers have a tinge of purple. There are probably other plants like this too, although the oxalis is quite well know, easily recognized and very popular around St. Patrick's Day in March.
Plants without green leaves, like the purple velvet vine, can make food through a process called heterotrophy. They obtain nutrients from other sources, such as decaying organic matter or by forming symbiotic relationships with fungi. These plants rely on alternative methods to obtain the energy needed for growth and survival.

What influences the chances of you cannabis plant turning purple is the genetics of the plant. If the strain is bred with traits that show purple flowers and leaves during the flowering period. There are stable strains out there right now that will turn purple right now. Some examples are Purple Star, Purple #1, these cannabis strains will have a better chance of turning purple. Several pigments are responsible for color in plants: chlorophyll, carotene, xanthophyll, and anthocyanins. Chlorophyll is the pigment in chloroplasts of plants that reflects green light. Plants use the energy absorbed by chlorophyll in photosynthesis to produce food for their growth and development. During flowering, with the passing of summer, days become shorter. The phytochromes, the light-sensing mechanisms in leaves, recognize the shorter day lengths. The molecules reflecting red wavelengths, anthocyanins, are water-soluble pigments that occur in the cell sap, creating the red, pink, and purple hues. These pigments may not be present during the summer, or vegetative cycle, but their formation is encouraged during a succession of cool nights and sunny days. The first degree of natural purple in cannabis could be characterized as occurring exclusively in the leaves and petioles: the colors of autumn appearing in the fan leaves during cooler temperatures and close to harvest. Your best bet for purple plants is to purchase seeds strains that are proned to change colour in the fall. As the nights become cooler and your plants start to flower you will see the beautiful purple colour come out in your plants.
A purple chili plant with purple leaves and purple peppers is called a Purple Chili Pepper plant. It is also called the Purple Jalapeno or Purple Pepper. It is a variety of chili that is sold usually as a dried chili pepper.
The wheat streak mosaic is characterized by yellowing plants, with leaves that have a mottled yellow and green appearance
Plants with non-green leaves, such as variegated or albino varieties, still carry out photosynthesis. While they may have reduced chlorophyll content in their leaves, they can still produce energy through photosynthesis using other pigments or mechanisms. However, their photosynthetic rate may be lower compared to plants with green leaves.
Plants that grow in LEAVES are KATAKA-TAKA plants

Leaves are part of plants and plants have cells so leaves also have cells.
