Comic Spoiler

The baby loses his skin colour and turns into the same colour as Nolan as he reaches adulthood

Thanks, it’s nice to know that there is an actual answer to my silly question lol - before I click on that, is it like a major spoiler or just some worldbuilding lore that the show hasn’t told us yet?

Nah it's pretty minor, you'd be like "huh that makes sense", and the spoiler isn't about the plot, it's literally just about what you asked

Perfect, thanks! Though it still kinda leaves me wondering where the purple came from in the first place, even if it goes away again lol

This is just speculation but maybe it has to do with their blood? I mean Thraxans seem to have blue blood and Viltrumites have red blood. Maybe that produces a mix in the kid that makes his skin appear purple as a side effect of a mixed blood?

You know that's a pretty good theory honestly. Probably what I'm gonna go with in terms of head-canon, absent of the show providing any other kind of explanation lol.
