They are super cool!!
I've only seen the black ones a couple times. I have a small lfs that specializes in unique and rare fish, rather than having a high quantity of fish. That's the only place I've seen them.

You have six!?!? We have one freshwater place and one salty place. Other than that we only have Petco/PetSmart.

Yes. I'm pretty spoiled here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota)
I mean....they aren't a 5 minute drive or anything. The furthest one is about 30 minutes tops. The closest is about 10 minutes. The rest somewhere in between.
My absolute favorite is about 15 minutes away.

How long have you had your kerris? Did you find they went more purple when they settled in or do they only display those colours at certain times? I.e when competing in a shoal?

My favorite of the Emperor Tetras is the Red Eye or Rainbow Emperor, Nematobrycon lacortei:
It is also my nemesis when it comes to breeding them, as I have tried repeatedly and failed. Males are highly aggressive.
I've bred regular Emperor Tetras once, a very long time ago:
I've had some Blacks, but I never got around to trying to breed them:
Inpaichthys kerri I've bred several times. It is very easy, as it's really just another tetra that happens to have a similar color scheme to the Emperor:
As far as looking "purple", it seems to be a trick of the lighting. Certain angles give it that color, but often it just has a strong, overall blue sheen.
