Based off of a desktop monitor, a laptop, and an iPhone, I think Miraluka's 3W blue Cree (SF light blue) looks the closest.
I did a side-by-side for comparison: 
I'm putting in an order for my first saber today! This is pretty exciting. Thanks everyone. |

The checker plate that they use to display there sabers reflects the light so it is hard to say. All I can say is the one saberforge saber I own is deep blue and it is awesome!

They all are awesome which is why it's so hard to choose. I think I am leaning more towards ANH/ESB blue than RotS blue. I have seen a bunch of dark blue pics lately that I'm in love with, but then I see some others where it's way too royal blue (some indigo hues). I was going to go with medium blue, but I can't really see the difference so well, and I rather err on the lighter side. I just want it to look as close to the images above (in person) as possible. I may be making too much of an issue out of this blue debate, but I'm super picky when it comes to colors.
I'm going to request a quick disconnect so worst case I'll change it out. |

Well its a lot of coin and to turn it on and be disappointed is not something you want to happen! Go with your first instinct and giver the onions!

Please let us know when you find out! I've had the same dilemma over which blue to get as I'm also looking for a ANH/ESB guardian blue color.
FYI, I can tell you that the guardian blue from US is MUCH closer to the blue from the prequels than ANH/ESB. I've done dozens of tests where I've held the blade next to my computer screen with screencaps from ESB and RotS side-by-side, and inspected them visually. The US guardian blue is still just a tad bit darker than the guardian blue from the prequels in person, but on camera, they look rather close (or at least they do with my camera and screen). Unfortunately, I do not currently have a SF saber in a blue color for comparison. Hopefully, that will change soon... |

Darth Tiberius, I definitely will... expect a full review posted from me when I do get it.
I have literally scoured every single page on this forum that has the word blue in it and I find pictures of light and deep, arctic and light, etc... that all look identical. What I'm having the hardest time finding is much for the med. blue. (and the SF blade pic looks exactly like deep blue to me) I assume it will just be somewhere between light and deep, however I'm having a hard time visualizing it. I don't want to get it and have it be too much towards the royal blue side. For a general reference I have put together the following images for what I have gathered in regards to light and deep. However, if anyone has a few different lighted images of a medium blue I would be forever grateful... otherwise I think I'm going light blue.

You shouldn't be disappointed. Light blue is beautiful.

With the variations in the way cameras capture these images, it is even a tougher task. As for me, I think they are all beautiful!
