Re: UV blue

"Most "blue" flowers photgraph as purple or violet (or at least they did on good old film)."

It depended on the film. Kodachrome had quite a lot of sensitivity in the IR and quite a lot of blue flowers reflected IR. As a result light blue flowers turned out pink. Ektachrome was much better for flower photography.
