Default Getting tripped up on Betta colors

I get tripped up on color distinction between the Royal and Corn-Flower
blue. The corn-flower blue in the fish world would be Egyptian blue at
the paint store.
Having no idea what a corn flower is or looks like, I need to look for
some on my next trip to the co-op.

=====================
I hope you can get to a PetsMartstore when they get a shipment of bettas in.
They always have a lot of blues in different shades. I think it'll be kinda
costly if you order them online and have S&H charges on top of the price of
the fish.

What I haven't seen so far when there are those deep green ones I remember
from the 1960s.

Yeh, I can call my LFS and He'll fix me up. But I am considering just
buying the lot they have there at Walmart and consider my boyscout duty
done for the day..
I just hope I'm in time. and if they expire, at least they have a good
return policy.

Since the bettas are kept separate from the other fish at WW you have a good
chance of getting reasonably healthy ones. If any are in the tanks with the
other fish, you may not be lucky at all.
