Why Is The Non Purple Part Of My Lip Turning Purple Post Injury?

I got hit with a cup about four days ago, my lip was swollen and has turned purple. Since the four days, the swelling has gone down, and the purple is now starting to fade. But now what is concerning me is that my bottom lip that wasn't purple has now started to turn purple. Should I concerned, or will this go away like the other part of my lips?

Hik,
It seems that due to injury there might be some blood collection under the lip.
Now blood gravitated down producing bottom of lip color changed.
Apply ice pack for few days.
Ok and take care.
