Scriabin - Purple

Do you remember which Key Signature Scriabin used to use for "reflecting" that color?

In your opinion which Key Signature could be used to "reflect" that color?
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.
