That's also a difference between blueberries and bilberries, which are often sold as blueberries. One of them is blue throughout, if I recall, but is more common on Europe vs. USA.

Both are structurally blue on the outside. Blueberries are purple inside (pigments) while bilberries are white inside (structurally, I guess).
