If you are following Atkins according to the book, don't sweat it, you're fine.
You can be in ketosis and not show any result on a stick...and depth of colour has no bearing on anything. Save your money for new clothes! :joy

I had the same problem once and it turned out my sticks went bad! I bought a new bottle and they were dark purple. They're only good for a month or two.

strips also stop turning pink/purple once you are eating around 50g carbs
