Maybe when the eye is more ninjutsu focused, the Rinnegan is purple, when genjutsu focused, it's red, or something. It's funny- I had been thinking the same thing. After all, the only Rinnegan which has been seen using the Six Path Techniques is the standard purple, ripple Rinnegan. Kaguya was never seen using it with her Rinnegan, and neither has Sasuke, and so may they can't. I would hope they, or at least Sasuke, could, but it could be a good explanation as to why they aren't using those abilities.
