Default Other causes for purple Phalaenopsis leaves besides high light?

Well, that title says it all, pretty much. You can see in the attached photo that this Phalaenopsis (Baldan's Kaleidoscope) is growing a new leaf. And that new leaf is mighty purple. I'm curious if there are things apart from high light which might be causing this coloration.

It looks to me like the result of strong light. But I'm curious and puzzled because I would not think this Phal's location would afford it that much light. (However, if it *were* getting that much light in its present location, I would be thrilled—it would open up a brand new, as yet unexploited growing area to add to. )

Your thoughts much appreciated!
