"But try to explain why violet/purple pens work as well or better than green or green-blue on the CD edge."

Not an optics expert but I can't help but wonder if this explains it...

Perhaps since our eyeballs are heavily biased to detect green better than other wavelengths perhaps we see things differently than a more redward (is that a word?) biased silicon photodetector would. IOW perhaps the colors our eyes suggest are complementary are not the same colors that would appear complementary to an eyeball (photodetector) whos sensitivity was shifted from what humans see best, green, toward the infrared cd laser band the cd player photodetector would be most sensitive to.
