I remember reading a story in Science 8n about ten years ago which
concerned a number of people living in an isolated part of West
Virginia who had blue or bluish skin because of some genetic 
disorder.

I'm locally blue, in the irises.

George Carlin's answer to this was something like  "Doesn't count.  
Blue on the plant, purple on the plate."
