Default Win 7 retail disk color

It looks like a W7 Pro Retail disk is dark blue with hologram edges.
Can anyone positively confirm?

Windows 7 Pro 32-bit retail, dark blue label and hologram edges.

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit retail, dark blue label, out to edges.

Windows 7 Pro retail is sold with both 32-bit and 64-bit discs.

Have no information about Windows 7 Pro SP-1.

See the animation part way down this page.

It's actually an animated GIF. One of the frames of the GIF
is for Windows 7 Pro, blue in color, with hologram edges.

Frame 55 is the closest to your disc image. It's not
a high res picture, but should be close enough.

FWIW mine has dark blue label with hologram edges, just like the 32-bit.

Windows 7 Pro retail is sold with both 32-bit and 64-bit discs.

Excellent!
