Color purple shortcut for Lightroom?

Question

I can't figure out the shortcut for the color purple when organizing my pictures on Lightroom. There is a shortcut for all the other four colors. They're numbers 6-9, so did Adobe just not give purple shortcut because they ran out of numbers?

At this point, I'm assuming you're on a Mac. It may be possible to rig a keystroke up using OS or keyboard app/plugin, if it would be worth doing(?)

Rob, there is indeed a way to do it on a Mac

1) Open up your Mac's System Preferences

2) Navigate to Keyboard

3) Choose the Shortcuts tab

4) Click the "+" icon to add a shortcut.

5) In the Application: dropdown box, choose Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

6) For Menu Title use the exact word: Purple

7) Choose a keyboard shortcut. For me I've chosen F9 because it isn't used in Lightroom and it's right near "9" which is used for Blue.

That's all there is to it.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:
