Yeah, I was thinking of the pineal gland but that is definitely not pinecone shaped. BUT, biblically speaking, purple is the color of royalty so it could be a representative of God or the spiritual connection to God.
That very well could be. My mind went to the pineal gland since it's sometimes referred to as the third eye and is located right where that particular element is placed on the tin man. (Well, inside the brain, I mean.)
There are definitely many, many, many biblical references in these secret windows, so that's a possible explanation re the purple color choice as well.
Interesting. I know nothing of chakras, so I had to do a very brief search. Perhaps the purple (indigo) color choice was more significant than stylistic.
The third eye chakra, Ajna, is found between your eyebrows. This chakra is the center of the universal consciousness, clarity, knowledge, and intuition. It makes the link between the world and our soul clearer.

Lots of good thinking here, u/Kensethfan.
The third eye chakra is also indigo.
