There are many colors of this 7" out there and some confusion about them. Let's try to sort it all out.
We'll start with the two very common colors of this single: red (almost a magenta) and white. Simple.
Next: lavender. This version causes a lot of confusion. It is a very subtle greyish-lavender base color, marbled with bits of pink and blue. I've seen it called pink, lilac, lavender, even grey...any of these would be somewhat correct, but ultimately, it's variants of the same combination of colors of vinyl with slightly different proportions. We're going to call it lavender marble here. Fabulous. That's settled. Almost. The degree of pink marbling in this pressing can vary by a fair amount. When there is more pink marbling, the records look more pink than lavender. When there is less pink, the records look more grey. There is a version out there with almost no pink marbling in it, which has the effect of basically making it fully grey. So, I guess a grey copy does actually exist, but it is really part of the lavender pressing. The big question was whether this is the only grey or whether an intentionally grey one also exists. Every copy I have seen advertised as grey has turned out to be lavender. Grey will remain in the rumors section, but I am fairly convinced the only grey version is in the lavender family.
NOW...there are some other rarer colors. There is a blue-green marble one. That is a bit rarer. There is some variation with the colors mixed in to make the marbled effect, but they usually look pretty similar. Then, there's the clear copy, which is somewhat rare, but does show up regularly. There was once rumored to be a black vinyl version, but I am 99.9% certain at this point that this does not exist. The test pressing isn't even black for this one.
Then, there's the pink marble version...that one is a tougher find. I have now seen a few of them show up for sale, and it appears that the most dedicated Whigs collectors seem to have tracked it down, so the prices have come down to more reasonable levels. Still very tough to find, though.
Side note: the test pressing for this record is one of my favorites. I love test pressings that are different colors from any of the actual released pressings. They just feel extra special. In general, if you have a test pressing, you already have a version that only exists in quantities of 5-10 (sometimes maybe up to 20) copies. If you then add in that it is a unique color...well, you get the picture. The red vinyl color of this test press is not the same red that was used in the full pressing; the released one was more of a magenta, while the test press was a straight, classic red.
I also randomly happened upon an interesting variant of the Conjure Me single a few years back - it looks like the "iceberg" variant of the Nirvana Bleach LP. This must have been a transition copy as the pressing plant was switching from blue-green to white (or vice versa). White vinyl has a tendency to overwhelm other colors pretty quickly in these situations, but this one is consistent with a white/green mix. I have included pictures below, including one with this variant next to a white copy. The scans don't fully do it justice. It's a nice distinct greenish color.
In 2017, a copy was auctioned that looked like a powder blue version. I missed it at the time, and the picture in the auction wasn't great, so it was hard to confirm. Fortunately, I'm in touch with the person who bought it, and it turned out to be another iceberg copy (thanks, Andy!). So this means at least three of the iceberg copies have surfaced.
In addition to all of the 7"s, there was a European version - a black 12" (and a corresponding CD). They chose to use My World Is Empty Without You as the feature song and title for that version. It is pretty easy to find.
Finally, there is a very uncommon promo cd for this single. The catalogue number is Sub Pop SUBPROCD#3. I am including it because some have spent considerable time tracking it down. Classically, not an easy find, but several have surfaced in recent years.
