Is there a deep purple reinwardtiana in cultivation, something like muluensis x lowii

I know there is a purple nepenthes reinwardtiana out there somewhere; just as there are black truncata's and dark purple N. sanguinea's. But I'm not sure it's in cultivation :grin:

The question is, has anyone ever seen a purple reinwardtiana?
Has anyone ever had a deep purple reinwardtiana sprout from a batch of "red" seed?

Here is a dark purple Nepenthes tobaica in the wild. There is a deep red tobaica in cultivation, but none that I know of with the color of muluensis x lowii such as this tobaica.

It would be great news to know if a reinwardtiana exists in cultivation that could rival that tobaica, whether it's a young plant from seed, or an older plant.
 
I have 2 reinwardtiana X maxima hybrids.
one is completely green, and one has some red coloration in the front of it, just like the one above.
