Delphinidin
Delphinidin (also delphinidine[1][2]) is an anthocyanidin, a primary plant pigment, and also an antioxidant.[3] Delphinidin gives blue hues to flowers in the genera Viola and Delphinium. It also gives the blue-red color of the grape that produces Cabernet Sauvignon, and can be found in cranberries and Concord grapes as well as pomegranates,[4] and bilberries.[5]

Delphinidin, like nearly all other anthocyanidins, is pH-sensitive, i.e. a natural pH indicator, and changes from red in acidic solution to blue in basic solution.
Glycosides
Several glycosides derived from delphinidin are known:
- Myrtillin (delphinidin-3-O-glucoside) and tulipanin (delphinidin-3-O-rutinoside) can be found in blackcurrant pomace.
- Violdelphin (delphinidin 3-rutinoside-7-O-(6-O-(4-(6-O-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)-β-D-glucosyl)oxybenzoyl)-β-D-glucoside) is responsible for the purplish-blue flower color of Aconitum chinense.[6]
- Nasunin (delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroylrutinoside)-5-glucoside) is responsible for the colour of the eggplant fruit's purple skin.[7]
gollark: Videos are generally kind of too slow-paced to actively hold my attention.
gollark: I watch longer (~30 minute) videos quite often, but mostly just put them on in the background when doing other stuff.
gollark: The UK doesn't really seem to have spoofing or nuisance calls anywhere near as much of the US, and I'm not sure why, given that it's technically possible in both.
gollark: The phone network really needs fixing to *not* allow spoofing.
