"Ponerse morado" in Mexico is not to be breathing.
Juan dejó de respirar hasta que se puso morado y luego cayó mareado al piso. Juan stopped breathing until his face turned purple and then he fell dizzy on the floor.

Fuera de una referencia a un substantivo de finlandés y aparentemente un miembro de los "Foros Ubuntu" () no he descubierto lo que quiere decir esto..
