I do believe it actually was black and blue, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone would perceive the way it is presented in this picture, with that lighting and level of overexposure, as black and blue.
Even looking at the RGB values of individual pixels, they are distinctly brown/gold-ish and a pastellish faded out purple.
