I just made a bunch. Try mixing blue and purple (more blue than purple). I usually then brush with some luster dust in maybe orange or red. There's a cake picture in my album (address below) that show another blue/purple berry on just did on a cake I.

Try a navy blue and black combination to achieve that deep dark color.

Hmmm, for the white film on the blueberries try painting on a bit of meringue powder and water mixture. Let it dry and a whitish film should appear on the blueberries.
