UV lamps do have a "violet" color, however, it's not truly violet, but ultraviolet (UV is in the visible spectrum). Plants do enjoy UV lamps indoors because they need a certain amount of UV to further photosynthesis. Don't forget that sun is best for them thought.

A true ultraviolet lamp emits ultraviolet light- a shorter wavelength than even violet. As plants use red and blue light to grow, giving them only ultraviolet light will only cause them to starve. Or mutate... ultraviolet light is used in labs to produce mutations in experimental organisms.

I doubt you have a true UV lamp tho... So probably no mutations for you.
