yellow and purple???

does anyone know what these strings are?
they are yellow at the ball end with purple windings (like helicores,etc.)
and they are purple at the pegbox. I guess that color could also be consider as violet (by women mostly! lol)
Anyway, I tried the Quinn Violin string chart ID and didn't find it.
I am sure it might be easy to find out, but I only know what Spirocores and helicores look like! lol
thank you!

I think that could be right.
are they for bowing?
I think they bow well, and the pizzicato is kind of dull.
thank you.

if you can bow them the answer is: yes

edit: if you search golden spirals here, you get much more info about them , they seem to be a holy grail for some people

They could be Kolstein Varicors.
Orchestral strings indeed.

I guess hat sounds more like it. I was reading a thread on the golden spirals and it didn't seem like they were talking about the strings I got.
thank you.
