My full length NRS Farmer Jane Ultra has a purple panel on the front. Not a "doofus" question at all, in my opinion. About the big person's wetsuit... I've seen a number of board surfers here of well... ample girth, and they look quite spiffy in their nicely fitting wetsuits. Most surf wetsuits seem to have full length sleeves though, which could be really uncomfortable while paddling lond distances without getting wet. I'll ask my friends who run the local surf shop about sizes and sleeveless possibilities.
