I'd go with cebolla morada, but I'm not sure what the best way to say it is.

I believe it would be cebolla morada. You might want to wait for a native speaker opinion though.

Purple Onion aka Red Onion = Cebolla Morada (either way)

cebolla morada is purple onion
cebolla roja is red onion

No. In English they are called red onions and in Spanish they are called cebollas moradas. They are more of a purplish color than red.
