Hi, I think the blue is about right. A few years ago I was clearing snow and noticed the brilliant turquoise of the light that came through into cracks as I opened the meter thick crusty snow. I posted a comment about this, wondering if others saw the same thing? This resulted in a thread about colour perception that was interesting. It was both reflected and transmitted light -- now that I give it a bit of thought.
