First one, then the other

Idfk, for me almost everything with visible blue in it is blue.

Erm what?... That's a pretty bizarre question. Like asking if a fork is more of a spoon, or a butter knife. Purple is not a red or a blue, it's a mix of red and blue, not a discrete wavelength. Violet and indigo may look similar to it but, unlike purple, are discrete wavelengths.

If one has to answer the question, it depends on the red and blue used to make the purple.

I think you're missing the point somewhat.

Depends on the context.

A secret third thing

I consider it a cool color because I can usually wear it and look good, and generally cannot look good in warm colors. But never thought of it as a red or a blue just purple.
