Cool blue side?

Violet, as Pirastro calls it. I think they make some solos that are kind of a red-ish purple spiral so maybe the person commenting was just mistaken...

I'll go send an email and see what they say.
The Blue over the white are the Original Flat Chromes. Many years ago they used to be called Eudoxa Flat Chrome. They made the Eudoxa in both Gut and steel core. Now they have two different names. To me the color looked dark purple/violet/lavender over the white. I guess you can just wait and see what Pirastro tells you.
