Bare with me. It will pass. : )<br /><br />"Not blue" doesn't seem like the right description. <br /><br />If I said this blue LED isn't blue, or the blue in that rainbow or oil slick isn't blue or the sky / ocean isn't blue I feel like I would be wrong. Yet none of those things contain blue pigment. <br /><br />Blue is an experience that occurs in our brains, or a net wavelength of light (possibly the sum of many interfering waves) striking our retinas. Blue pigments just happen to have the property that they reflect wavelengths in that region preferentially. <br /><br />It might even be more fair to say that blue pigments aren't blue at all. In a room illuminated by only red light they appear black. Or in a room illuminated only by radio waves or x-rays they are not visible at all.<br /><br />Never the less the berries are quite lovely.
