I'm not sure about its ID, maybe pseudobaileyi? I have her since almost a year and out of neglect, or lack of knowledge many of its leaves dried out and I took them off, so now its just a skinny poor thing. This spring I took all of my air plants outside (the climate here is too cold in the winter for most of them), and this one changed its color dramatically from green to deep purple. The first to images are from the plant today, after its hydration session. The next one you can see it just before it came outside, when she was still living inside my flat. The last one, hurts to kook at it, it's of the plant the day I bought her.

Looks closer to a blush than anything else, dead dried or rotted wouldn’t be this vibrant and more on the grey side. The change of light could have sun-stressed the plant into blushing.

Stressed but alive. Blush can come from stress as well, especially leaves suddenly exposed to more light than they’re used to.
