A. variegata, it's brighter than the A. avic I had anyway.

That's a Harpactira pulchripes. Lol very blue, not purple.
The pictured pulchripes was photoshopped. I myself was puzzled, and managed to pry the answer from him only after almost a dozen questions.I thought these were orange with blue legs/feet?
Purple is NOT Blue, no more than Orange is Red

Thanks and yes the flash certainly brings out the color in any tarantula. That is also a juvenile specimen, they tend to darken up and dull out with age.You sir are awesome! May the goddess grant you more egg sacs
Edit: The psychedelicus looks absolutely divine. Do they sport that color only under a flash?
Someone should start a new list for purple T's! Going the other direction, I don't think there are really any green T's, are there? The closest I've seen is greenish-gray or blue-green. Just curious.If you're including purple......Avicularia purpurea, then Aphonopelma seemanni BCF, Holothele sericea, there is more I'm sure.
Euathlus sp Blue, Homoeomma sp. Blue...

Are Euathlus sp. "blue" actually blue? I hadn't thought so from the photos I've seen, but then lighting is everything!
@efmp1987 another for your list (don't ask me where it should rank, lol) is Ischnocolinae sp."dominican blue."
Hmm, not really... But then I don't think I've seen them greener, which strikes me as odd, now that I think about it. Other arthropods, including other spiders, can be very green. I wonder why no tarantulas really are? Nor are there any white tarantulas, but then given their habitat, I wouldn't expect there to be any.N. incei has some greenish tints to it.
I would separate them; some tarantulas are clearly blue, some are clearly purple, some may be both and some may fall in between and those latter could be on both lists.Purple is covered under blue. So many of those listed here are more purplish-tinged than blue for example
Based on the photos, I'd say, yes, remove A. aurantiaca. It doesn't appear blue at all, rather antique gold or something along those lines.... Should I remove aurantiaca from the list? Is it not purple? My desktop has a weird saturation.
The femurs on the Euathlus sp Blue are indeed deep metallic blueSomeone should start a new list for purple T's! Going the other direction, I don't think there are really any green T's, are there? The closest I've seen is greenish-gray or blue-green. Just curious.

What do you think of Euathlus sp. Blue? Theres a bunch here for sale at a local pet shop. They have around 50 species. XDThe femurs on the Euathlus sp Blue are indeed deep metallic blue
and Holothele sericea = Ischnocolinae sp."dominican blue."
