Is this equation correct?

KI + HCl +KMnO4 --> KCl +MnCl +H2O + I2

If so what would be the color of the solution?

PS. I am aware the equation is not balanced. =]

Nor is it correct.
MnCl2 is manganese(II) chloride.
Otherwise it looks ok.
KMnO4, as you no doubt know, is purple. MnCl2 is a VERY light pink color but it takes more than just a little to color a solution.
