Some formations really do have some kind of purple colored roof, but the color is much more discrete then on the Plarail model. Also pantographs and other stuff on the roof are silver, not purple...
Btw. it's a new train. Here are some informations from jrailpass.com (Sept. 13, 2019):
The West Express Ginga: The Futuristic "Galaxy" Train
JR West has announced the launch of a new train which will link the Keihanshin area with a number of stations in the Sanin and Sanyo regions in western Japan. The Ginga train will launch in spring 2020.
The concept of the long-distance train is based around interstellar travel. Ginga means ‘Milky Way’ in Japanese, and the trains route along the western regions will represent the stars spread throughout the galaxy.
The futuristic design of the West Express Ginga will include a long stripe on the side, symbolizing long-distance travel and the dream of visiting exotic, faraway destinations. It will be lapis lazuli, a fantastic shade of deep blue which resembles the sea and sky.
