I can think of a couple of options, but having problems remembering any details.
 
Your "purple" solution could involve either an Iodine reducer of Potassium Permanganate reducer.
 
There is a process I have tried some 5-7 years ago called "Bleach-Etch" process.  Here a print is immersed in a bleach/etch solution, (no details to hand on this solution, may have information elsewhere if needed), then swabbed with a cotton wool pad to remove loosened gelatine.  Reollect that after this I dyed the remaining gelatin base with a food dye or similar.
 
Possible reference, Kent E Wade, Alternative Photographic Processes  published by Morgan & Morgan, 1978.  There is a chapter on Beyond the Black & White. 
 
If you want any further information please get back to me privately.  jimth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    May have more time next week to look for old notes.

Subject: I can't remember the process

Once upon a time I made some prints using a method that required washing the surface of the print with a chemical (purple liquid, I remember) that removed  some of the prints surface.  There is a name for this method and I can't recall it for the life of me.
 
The original print may have been made using a nonsilver process - I'm looking at one of the prints now and the paper is very textured - like a watercolor paper (it's matted, mounted and framed so I can't actually feel the paper).
 
I'll keep rummaging through my books and papers, but I thought one of you might remember the method.
