I heart blues.

I'm glad so many people like the Sierra Blue. Hopefully Apple's color pickers will continue to offer new blue options.

But my first reaction when I saw the Apple catalog images below of the camera part was, "That is purple!"
Specifically it looks like the purple color you sometimes end out with on Easter Egg projects.

So I went with Graphite. It seemed to be at the right contrast and (saturation level? hue?) with the Blue Jay silicone color which I like a lot.

I realize lighting can change the color impression, but in videos like Marques Brownlee's, Sierra Blue looked even more like that pale Easter Egg purple.

Request to Apple's color pickers:
For spring, please use the color wheel to pick a silicone case color that flows better with your Sierra Blue.
The current silicone cases all seem to clash.
Just one tiny step to make the world a more harmonious place ;-).

But again, Thank you for offering lots of great blue options.
