Hi Aaron, that would need to be accomplished in 3 several steps I believe.
1) Add the prurple option with an ALTER command 2) REPLACE Blue with purple 3) ALTER the enum type again (remove blue option) While I dont understand the meaning/background on this it might be a good idea to keep the value blue as it contains information such as that you know which data record was orginally meant to conatin the value "blue". Onceyou converted all to purple you will not be able to retrieve this information anymore.
