Hook it up to an external monitor and see if it is showing the same anomaly.

Was it doing this before installing Mojave? Try doing from an external drive with a lower system like El Capitan.

UPDATE

Reseat the display cable and check for any corrosion

I used an external monitor and the display there looks fine. I also have el captan installed and the display is still purple. Anything else I can try?

If the external is correctly showing the image then the internal display needs replacing.

If the display data cable is good, Dan is correct, the display is kaput.
