I grew some coloured carrots last year, a mix which Monty Don

Very disappointing, mostly pale orange shades, no red or purple.
Back to "proper" carrots next year.

The Rainbow variety *are* from light pale orange to dark orange. The
title is sadly misleading. The best way to grow a multitude of colours
is to mix the seeds of different varieties. Then it's always a
surprise when you pull up a carrot!
