Okay so I'm probably being an idiot as usual... but I'm so confused, doing q's on redox etc and the text book says the end point of the titration:8H+ + MnO4- + 5Fe2+ = Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+
is PURPLE!!!
Mn2+ is pink and Fe3+ is orange!?!?
please someone explain how this is apparently purple

Iron is barely visible (or masked with phosphoric acid), what you see is the excess of permanganate.

but it's being changed from permanganate to mn2+ which would be purple to pink? excluding the iron shouldn't the end point be pink?

No, EXCESS permanganate changes the color of the solution. Neither Fe(III) nor Mn(II) have color strong enough to be seen before the end point, but once you add a slight excess of permanganate it will color the solution.
