For Shinjuku ward I found only purple flag.

Shinjyuku ward says there is no flag law yet but they use no more blue flag but only purple.
Nozomi Kariyasu, 26 June 2014

But they have done so in the past?
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 26 June 2014

Yes, they used a dull blue. I got their letter dated Jan 13th 1999 in which they wrote the color name.
