IMHO, bluing has been black for a long time. Hasn't really been "blue" since WWII. Colt still puts "Royal Blue" on the SAA and has never stopped. They're no different from the one above from 30yrs ago. Same for this 1yr old Standard. I think the biggest contributing factor is the market. Most revolver buyers want dishwasher safe stainless steel with rubber grips and that is a hell of a shame.
