cant pick up the blues

Try changing your white balance. See if it has a "K" setting for kelvin colour temp.

You can also play with the colour saturation right on the camera.

does your camera support RAW file formats?

If so use it, then adjust the color balance after the fact with a program like photoshop. I've never found the color balance build into most camera's to go high enough.

You can also get yellow, orange, red color filters to put over the lense. Playing with those different colors and combinations of might get you accurate looking pictures.

I just tried adjusting within the camera and it still doesn't pick up the colors properly. It does support raw I'm gonna give that a try, never done it before il have to read the manual.

Put the camera in manual mode and take a photo of something white under the blue lights. Fill as much of the photo with the white as possible. Then go to white balance under menu settings and select set custom white balance and pick the photo you took. Go back to regular screen and press the Q button then go to AWB on the panel on the back and select the custom white balance button, two triangles with a spot in between, should be on the far left and that should help.
