I was looking around for pictures of the difference between a RB/B/W led and couldn't find any. I'm trying to decide if I would like the royal blue or the "silver" blade using B/W/W. If anyone had pics of the difference it would be much appreciated.

I too am curious what blue vs royal blue looks like.
Hard to tell the difference in a picture. The one in my signature below is 'ice blue' mixed rB and W, but looks proper blue.

Proper blue? As in ANH Luke and Obi Wan?
Being colorblind makes this saber business extra hard.
Sorry. When I said proper blue I just meant in that pic you can't tell it's mixed with white to make a lighter blue. It just looks blue.
As for ANH, Luke's saber changes colour from scene to scene. On the Falcon, it looks white.
I think it would be nice if the store had some sort of example of what any given color should look like. For example, I haven't ordered an amber LED, because I don't know if it's going to be yellow, orange-yellow, orange ...
I've had quite a few Amber-LED sabers over the years and they all tend to orange-yellow or yellow-orange...nice if you like that, which I do, but if you want a true yellow OR true orange you will need to RGB colour mix [or in the case of yellow a Lee "Oklahoma Yellow" cinema gel filter on a white LED will work but these days RGB mixing is the more usual option].

You over estimate my FLOWERS!
On the note of Blue and Royal Blue, my regular blue I would argue borderlines on being more of a cyan color as it's considerably brighter and I'd argue it's mixing a greenish hue into it. royal Blue sometimes has a purple hue depending on the overexposure you'd experience recording a video or taking a camera still of it. my Graflex 2.0 TFA mixes them both with a white FoC, and the two blues to my eyes creates a very nice blue which I would say is comparable to the Luke ANH Force FX saber color, at least when using a Trans White show blade (in my case a 7/8" OD blade). if you like the blue that the original graflex had in ANH, Blue is what you want. if you're after something a bit darker than that but closer to a typical blue, use Royal Blue. mainly my opinion from experimenting with the colors but figured I'd toss my two cents in.
