tradescantia species ID

Hello,

Just bought this plant and I'm very excited to add it to my little indoor garden.
I was told that it was a Tradescantia, but I don't know what the species is. I've found a bunch of different species, but none of the pictures match up.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the input!
