Bluest of Blues

I'm beginning to knit up some baby boy hats. And of course, blues are what we grab for. But which blue? There in lies a challenge. When I grab a blue, it's likely to be green: Turquoise or Caribbean. So I'm trying to get at those purer tones, Royal and Navy are of course gorgeous, but perhaps a highlight of some other sparkling hue when knitting! My favorite is sitting in the sun, to really see the sheen, and of course whether it's a synthetic or a natural fiber the cast can vary so greatly. Here are some other blue shades that entice me today: Toluene, Indigo, Azure, Ultramarine, Cerulean, Prussian, Cobalt. Any others I should be considering?
