While fiddling around with color prompts, I noticed this quirk:
PS1="%B${PURPLE}%m${NORMAL}%(#.#.>)%b "
does not display the > (or #) in bold, while
PS1="%B${PURPLE}%m${NORMAL}%b%B%(#.#.>)%b "
does.

I suspect that your terminal just doesn't like overlapping colour and
attribute selection, or possibly your ${NORMAL} is cancelling more than
just colour. In any case, there's not a lot we can do about that in
the shell.
