Could someone let me know which lines are blue and which are purple?

I'll be adding a link with the line differences shortly. Apologies for not addressing it earlier...
Thanks. The wide lines version worked fine for me.

Had to spend some time deciphering which lines were blue and which were purple due to colorblindness, but was able to get through it. nicely set puzzle.
--I have some color vision deficiencies as well.. I tried to find a balance good for my eyes but acknowledge all eyes are different. Thank you for persevering and also letting me know. Ill endeavor to be more accommodating with future puzzles..

This puzzle is a bit like marihuana - clouds your brain in a haze of pink, blue and green...
--In a positive way I hope..
Oh yes, very much so!! And to clarify further, my comment is not based on personal experience, but on what my friends at the library told me... ;-)
--lol. Glad you enjoyed!
