Purple: Love your Coleus! Those in photo's 5 and 9 look similar to a some that I used to have. I haven't grown Coleus in a long time but I used to grow them in containers beneath other plants as well as in flower beds. I think next spring I may buy a few plants, and also sow some seeds!
Edited to add: I've always pinched the tips to allow for bushier plants. It seems if I let them grow without pinching, they become tall and leggy.
