If I may be so bold as to add a potential eighth:
8. The combination of blackberries and blanched almonds, as in that
Cerulean Sauce for Summer, found in the Redon "The Medieval Kitchen".
This would be a deep purplish blue. I've seen indigo-colored mawmenny
made from ground boiled chicken meat, ground blanched alomonds, red
wine, and various other ingredients, so apparently the almonds and the
red juicy stuff produce this effect.
