It's interesting, when I painted my Snipe blue - and I mean Krylon Regal Blue - then held it side-by-side to some N-Strikes, you could really see the purple hue in the older blasters. I wouldn't go so far as to call it "full-on" purple, but it's further toward purple than it is to true blue. (If there is such a thing)

What's even more interesting is that the repainted Snipe is almost exactly the same color as the new Star Wars Captain Cassian blaster. So clearly someone at the Hasbro mothership is reevaluating what "blue" really is. Ah, yes. In all honesty, I don't like that shade of blue. I prefer the dark of elites. I'd only buy that to paint it and for the attachments.
