What test kit do you have? Different ones turn different colors. If it's the API kit, you can see the charts here.

it wont be accurate online...different PC and laptop screens show totally different shades. printers wont print it exactly either...the shades would be wrong and inturn would lead to incorrect readings

that link rdd1952 sent looks pretty good on my monitor

As you are striving for 0.0 NitrIte then blue is all you need. Any degree of purple is unacceptable and requires attention

Water changes. Do partial water changes of about 20% up to 3 or 4 times a day is necessary. Eventually the bacteria will develop to process it.
