I was wondering if anyone knows which AV variety has a true blue color - but a very deep blue, as in Royal Blue!

I have seen some but most seem to be closer to purple than to real blue.

Any recs would be appreciated.

As far as I know, all "blue" African Violets have some degree of "violet" in the color.

However, I have had some very "blue" violets. I even have a NOID (unidentified) violet that I "named" "Royal Blue".

Named violets that I would suggest as being closest to "true blue" are Optimara Hiroshige, or Ness' Ruffled Skies.
