It's listed on PlantFiles as "blue-violet, violet/lavender"

On Brushwood it is said that it is lavender: http://www.gardenvines.com/shop/large-flowered-clematis-3/cl...

To me the color is so close to blue that it doesn't make a difference. It gives the effect of blue in the garden, especially when it's near white.

I have Still Waters though Brushwood doesn't mention a color:

I consider it blue simply because of the look. Here's recent photos of it with allium azureum and there you can see the difference between the colors but it will stay where it is since it does give the look of blue more than lavender (to my eyes).
