Bought this little lady yesterday. I know she's an airplant, but wondering which type. She's not in water, but the pot is a little wet from misting. Also, would appreciate any care advice. I was told she needed misting, but I don't know how frequently. She's currently in maybe low-moderate indirect sunlight (roughly 10 feet from a frosted east-facing single pane window).

I hope someone more knowledgeable than I can answer your question. My amateur guess is tillandsia plagiotropica.
She’s a Tillandsia Harrissi! The purple is just spray paint. I have one just like this but red tips and if you want to preserve the colors then I suggest you water it just how it’s sitting there if that planter holds water just add water to the top and let her base be submerged up to but not directly on the colors. It will absorb all that it needs from that. Also, you may want to get a small grow light for it at least. Air plants love bright light (indirect if from the sun). Soak once a week and maybe very lightly mist it during the week and you’re good to go! I got mine to put out a bloom spike like that.
