A medium to dark semi-saturated blue-purple is the typical flower color for "Aconitum" species. "Aconitum" species tend to be variable enough in form and color in the wild to cause debate and confusion among experts when it comes to species classification boundaries. The overall color range of the genus is rather limited, although the palette has been extended a small amount with hybridization. In the wild, some "Aconitum" blue-purple shades can be very dark. In cultivation the shades do not reach this level of depth.
