If "lives in the forest" is intended to be a profession of existence, then it's false.

I think it is an outright lie to state that something is purple if it doesn't exist. If it doesn't exist that's neither purple nor anything, it's colorless.

if you mean it from a fictional perspective. It might be true if you're talking about a fictional world, or if you're a character that lives in the fictional world and you believe that ,but you might also have to add more to the sentence for it to be valid.
Like so: the hero, lives on the planet poptart, where there are lush, pink, meadows, green skies, and where some cows are Lilac

If you could make use of a red related to fictions not related to the game in a game without any notice it would be pointless. I think we should exclude that possibility as any other justification we came up with strange reds would be completely meaningless. The "this red is related to some other non specified fiction X" would explain everything.
But it would also mean that red truths have absolutely no value.
