Cute little phals you got there!
I love the minis too.

The brown spot surrounded by the yellow margin looks like bacterial or fungal infection.
Or mechanical damage followed by secondary infection.
Whatever it is, when you see something like that on the leaf (or leaves), trim the affected area off.
Be sure to cut about one inch into the green healthy area to make sure you get all the "bad" part out.
Whatever you use to cut the part of that leaf off, use something really sharp so it cuts well to minimize any unwanted damage to the leaf while cutting.
Do Not use the cutting tool (whatever you use) on other plant in case you spread something to them.
It shouldn't be something serious and trimming that part off should take care of it for now.

I agree with NYCorchidman and just wanted to add:
when you cut off the bad part of the leaf - sprinkle some cinnamon on the cut to make it dry and heal faster. Another thing I was successfully using for that - gel-like hand sanitizer. It desinfects the cut and dries it up without leaving brown edge on the cut leaf.

And yes, it does look like a natural color - quite beautiful too.

Really lovely, agree with the advice above and yes I have a couple that sort of colour and it's natural. Purple occurs quite naturally in orchids.
