    You don't need to swap for "violet", the royal blue is an amazing color with a small amount of UV, not overkill like the Boost. I with they had T5...

    Which BRS 2 part?

    I would go with the 2-part total package. The "starter kit" gives you pouches that are premeasured, but cost more. The total package gives you bulk...

    AI Sol Blue. They have 3 separate settings, so you can turn up and down white, blue and royal blue. The controller is very flexible too.
