> through [...] mixing of pigments, combined with the reflection of natural light, the plants are able to generate [...] blue color We have a way to describe objects which “generate a blue color when light shines on them”. We say they are “blue” objects. Likewise, bird feathers or butterfly wings which absorb/reflect light based on their small-scale structure and appear blue are still called “blue”, even though they might be colorless when pulverized. There are plenty of “blue flowers” out there.
