So why violet?

No conscious reason. There's no explanation of the "patterns" in Eva, although I remember some vague reference to blood and/or DNA, but by the end of the series it seems like a simple "sensor reading". If they had chosen a color at one end of the spectrum or another, I would have tried to extrapolate a scale and picked a color in the appropriate place, but Blue is more or less in the middle of ROY G. BIV, which didn't give me much to work on. I just liked the sound of "Violet Pattern", much along the lines of the various oddly colored "alerts" from the EPU UF Core stories.
And all the other colors you cite are specific to their fics, not EVA canon. So I don't feel particularly constrained to use them...

And what is sunaruki?

---

That's a rough transliteration of how a native Japanese speaker would say and spell out "snarky". Remember, Japanese has almost no dipthongs, and "u"'s are frequently silent.
