Hum,

A few things to check (meaning a few wild guesses, since we don’t have a lot of info here):

Are you sure you’re not trying to paint outside of a selection? note that if the pixels in your selection are les than 50% selected, no marching ants will appear on the screen, use ctrl-D to make sure you don’t have a selection

When you say it’s not showing up in purple, what do you mean? if it shows up in red, it may be that you are in Quickmask mode (hit ‘Q’ to leave it)

Maybe you are only painting on a single channel?
We can’t see your screen, so a longer description of exactly what is happening would be helpful…
