Yes I also thought that the colour appears more blue. Generally it is purple or violet in different shades or may be even complete white. A commonly planted climber which grows to a large extent and also to uncontrolled great heights.
An Acanthaceae family member!
Anyway it just looks awesome with good thick green foliage intermingled with bright flowers almost throughout the year.
Attaching my photograph of white variety taken at IIT Madras guest house.

hallo all,
 i observe the same thing, many times flowers at one place have a bit diff. shade that at the other place. Is it perhaps the soil, that affects the color a bit? Afterall the soil contains diff. minerals at diff places. even the color of the soil is diff at diff places.
 
What doe experts say?
 
Regards
nalini

Ecological factors play a major role in morphological features of the plants.  They include edaphic (soil etc) and climatic factors.
