Nope, this is entirly, and 500% certain, on your end. There is nothing the contact can do which would affect this.

It is dark purple for me though (a bit darker than your purple desktop wallpaper). If you see it as bright blue your monitor is also not set up correctly (unless you have some form of color blindness).
PS: whenever you encounter it again:
1) remove the desktop contact from the dekstop
2) close the contact list entirly in case you had it open (thus Messenger should be gone from the taskbar and only visible in the system tray). Do this being pressing the red X on the top right side of the contact list.
3) open the contact list again by double clicking on its icon in the systemtray
4) re-add that contact as a desktop contact
-> Has the color changed to red or is it still the same?
If it stayed the same purple (or blue-ish as you call it):
1) Exit Messenger completely so it doesn't run anymore
2) Restart Messenger
-> Has the color changed to red or is it still the same?
