Color change

My aloe vera has recently turned an almost purple color. I have moved it from inside to outside where it gets a lot more sun. Could this be the reason for the change? Also it's leaves are squishy and sort of dead at the end. Soil is dry and hasn't been watered in almost 2 weeks so i don't think it's an overwatering thing. Is it still healthy? the ends of the leaves seems to be drying out. please lmk if you have any tips
9ft to light, indirect
6โ€ pot without drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
Most likely the colour change is due to the extra sun. It probably won't hurt it, just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't actually burn. ๐Ÿ–ค
If you're dealing with squishy leaves I highly suggest checking the roots to make sure there are no signs of rot. If there are, remove the rotten roots with sterilized scissors, let the plant sit dry and out of soil for about 3 days and replant it.
