i am afraid it is not that simplistic, brightcolours! for rather better understanding, here is link that will help understanding of CA:

I fear this is a case of "follow your own advice" - that article clearly explains that purple fringing is not CA!

The article says that some cases are not caused by chromatic aberration of the lens and are instead caused by sensor defects.

"Purple fringing is usually attributed to chromatic aberration as described above, although it is not clear that all purple fringing can be explained this way."

Are you blaming the sensors for the poor performance of the 85mm f1.4 IS?

I responded to the point about what purple fringing is. Please don't put words in my mouth.
