Question Maroonish Keiki question: Is this normal and what the heck is it?

I got this keiki from a friend and they didn't know what kind of orchid it is. I didn't get to see the parent plant and I have no idea what it is. The color is different than any orchid I have seen. It is a purplish color on the leaves and I'm assuming it is a different type of orchid, but I am also curious if it is sick. The roots look pretty good, nice and white, no noticeable issues. I'm really hoping that someone can help me here. Thanks.

the colour is because its dying, i would say. but im probably wrong!

Looks like it was taken too early, and perhaps had too much light. I think its dead/dying.......

That's a terrible thing. I'm just going to keep it in the shade and see what happens.
