    Hmm, this is a pretty amusing way to use Yukari's name. 紫 means purple, but normally it's read as murasaki, not yukari. It's read yukari when it's used in the expression "ゆかり(紫)の色" which was a figurative expression to mean "color of yearning (for loved one, etc)".

    So Yukari seems to be yearning for Reimu's attention and love, so reflected her true nature (color of yearning) by making Reimu unable to see any color other than ゆかりの色. Pretty nice.

    Well, at least that's fitting, even if Nakatani didn't intend this.

    p.s.) I've been seeing Yukari with that tied back hair, but was Yukari's hair style ever depicted like that in an official source? I really can't remember.
