Is it safe to say that from the list the bluest under natural conditions are P. metallica and C. cyaneopubescens? Both have powder blue colors too :)
Many P. mets turn almost black.

You mentioned several species that just aren't blue at all, like Orphnaecus sp "blue Panay" and hati hati, and completely ignored M. balfouri;)View media item 40918
My vote is the LV

Isn't hati-hati light blue from google images? But yep, the reason behind the post is to get opinions as to which ones are not really blue/purple, and which ones are blue/purple, and add species that are truly blue.

I excluded from M. balfouri due to following reason(s):

1. Some people swear that the blue parts is NOT blue at all under natural light.

Can you shed light as to the "blue-ness" of that baboon?

Edit: I will remove "Panay blue" from the list and attrobute it to you. Thanks!

H pulchripes have a yellow spotted pattern like most baboons, but have bright blue legs, just google some pics of them.

Oh.. they are yellow. With dark spots. But have blue legs.

I dont think we're on the same page. LOL what about the pic of the T on the picture that you quoted and which you Identified as H. pulchripes but is all blue? With no hint of yellow.

You said H. pulchripes has some yellow spotted pattern but the T in the pic are all blue so I sought clarification :D

Okay. Let me rephrase. The all-blue pulchripes (with no hint of yellow), is it a color form?

No. That is a wonder of Photoshop. Screenshot_20170821-230618.png
Here's a ridiculous A Avicularia I did in 30s. It's not tough.
A aurantiaca Screenshot_20170920-214327.png
And that's not even with Photoshop, just with edits from my phone.
