Default Purple spots all over leaves

I got a bunch of catts and vandas (or at least members of the respective alliances (no or misplaced tags)) from my aunt who couldn't take care of them. One of the catts I noticed was practically purple, with freckle-like spots, and shriveled-looking. I was originally just going to toss it, thinking it was already dead. But I noticed that a pseudobolb was coming in. So I just cut away all the dead roots and repotted it.
Now it's been a couple months and its status hasn't changed (see below pic). It doesn't seem dead, but it doesn't seem healthy (at least comparatively), and the new leaf hasn't popped out yet.
So is it sunburn, actual leaf color, or some disease? And if it is a disease, is it contagious (the other orchids haven't seemed to be affected so far) and can it be treated?



EDIT: Crap! I just noticed the 'Pests & Diseases' section. If this is in the wrong place, someone please move it.
