I'm really leaning towards a Chosen in either Green or Deep Blue to go with my Bastion in Arctic Blue. My question is, Deep Blue for Obi Wan (My favorite character) or Green for Luke? And does Deep Blue look purple in person? From the photos I've seen, it looks indigo. Does anyone have a Deep Blue saber, and how do you like it?

I wouldn't go as far as saying that it looks purple in person. But it is there in its aura. It's still a deep blue but it nears the purple spectrum on the visible light scale. I'd say the deep blue is probably around the 450nm mark.
Here's a deep blue in my Vigilant. In person it truly is a nice deep blue. But the small amounts of that violet (some people's eyes are more in tune than others) seems to mess with me a bit. But I still like it. Since you already have an Arctic Blue. Maybe switch it up from the Blues and go Green for this one? Or Red? |

As someone who has owned a Deep blue Saberstaff for a while, I can confirm you that it's not purplish in any ways. To me, it looks a lot like the blue for the sabers in ROTS.

Indigo would be more purplish than Deep Blue..

Maybe you should go one shade lighter and get medium blue...that way you get an unmistakable blue without the purplish hue.

It's a quirk of the camera.
The Royal Blue LEDs used to make Saber Forge Deep Blue are right at the edge of the visible spectrum. For the most part, they put out blue light (as well as a bit of violet - which isn't purple at all, but closer to what most of us would consider navy or indigo). However, they also put out a tiny bit of UV light that's invisible to the human eye. However, UV isn't invisible to a camera sensor. My cellphone camera picks up the UV light and renders it as Magenta - the magenta UV mixed with the blue Royal Blue mix together for a purple-y light on-camera, but in person, it's just a blue. Here's how my Royal Blue Anakin looks on camera: And here's the same photo color-corrected to better represent what the color looks like in-person: |
