I saw the question asked in a previous thread but the replies were less than informative.

I remember picking up a 'purple named' item near the last few minutes of BWE this time around. No-one I asked seemed to know what it means. Can anyone give an explaination that knows wha they are talking about? Does it mean that salvaging that items has a higher chance to yield a rune/ or other special item? What gives, inquiring minds want to know.

I believe that the color indicates how many bonus abilities the item has.
These "abilities" may just be "Highly Salvageable" or a plus to an attribute or skill.

Not to be a pain in the wazoo but I believe it`s White, Cyan, Megenta and Yellow. I got a Megenta sword that was the best weapon I found all week-end and used it. I found it early Friday somewhere around Pock Mark Flats. Don`t remember it`s attributes or what dropprd it.
