Which strings have blue wrap?

I am trying to figure out what brand of strings are on my Bass. They have blue wrapping around them at the ball end.

Thanks!

EDIT: I just had a closer look, and the ball end wrap has a black line spiralling around it. And the peg end colours are E- Blue, A - Black D - Yellow and G - Purple.

Great! Thank you very much.

Are Corelli regarded as pretty good? I understand strings are mostly personal preference.

Like you say, "cool" is a subjective thing. Quite a few people like Corellis. They are a very light-gauge string, and are thin in diameter. Some like this, some don't. They work well for pizz and arco. They are the preferred string of arco virtuoso, Francois Rabbath.

Thanks for the info!
