Two branches on my tree recently pushed out leaves with a different color. It's never done this before. Is it just because they decided to grow in late summer? I'm curious if I take cuttings, will it keep this color?

I bought these Royal purple smoke trees last year as bare root trees with hardly any fine roots. I let them build some strength last year and wired them this spring. There is not a lot about them as bonsai on the internets so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these trees and leaf...
