Great score.

It is 100% Royal Blue. This color came with black pickup rings and did not have the faux binding. It's also blue all over.

Whale Blue guitars got cream rings, faux binding, and 99% of them had a black back/neck.

Actually….. there is a set of cream rings in the case… looks like the previous owner changed them to black? Or maybe had bought the cream years ago, and decided black looked better after all?

Still, whale blue had the binding and black back. Royal blue had no binding and the whole body was blue.

Black would be the originals.
