@FBTS , Thanks for responding, Kermit.
No, the 'Skyscraper Pink' isn't mixed up with the dark purple. The flowers are mostly pink and true to type. However, it has some verticillasters that show color-breaking. Each individual flower has streaks of the normal pink and streaks of the darker magenta. (Similar to the look of the infamous tulip breaking virus.)
Update: I've been googling for photos and I believe the color-breaking on the flowers of 'Skyscraper Pink' is normal for this cultivar. Even the Selecta promo shot shows some streaked blooms and even a random solid magenta bloom on the same verticillaster as pale pink flowers. I'm speculating that this pale pink color form was selected as a mutation on a magenta form and occasionally shows a bit of reversion in its flowers.
These were grown and sold by the University of Georgia Trial Gardens (a college with a well-known horticulture program & industry trial gardens). You would think that they would know better than to sell virused or suspicious looking plants. However, everyone seems to be incompetent these days so I wouldn't bet on it.
Like I mentioned, I think that they may propagate off of the plants that they used in the trial beds the previous year rather than buying new plugs. That would give the plants more time to pick up a virus.
I wish they would return my email so I could figure out what to do. I just don't like the pattern on these Rockin' Fuchsia leaves and I don't want it spreading if viral.
You are right about the virus issue being a big industry problem. Many can spread easily and can even last for years on hard surfaces. Reading about the longevity of the highly infectious Tobacco Mosaic Virus is almost enough to make you give up gardening. The fact that so many people in the horticulture industry seem to be fairly ignorant about actual plants (diseases, proper nomenclature, etc.) only compounds the problem.
P.S. Thank you, Kermit, for doing your best to be a responsible grower and not spreading disease just to make a buck!
