Default How blue is a blue star?

Thinkin' to set my novel on a planet circling the bright blue star
Spica (alpha-virginis), now on show in spring evenings. Now, the
question is how much blue light will illuminate the planet of this
star? I want to put some scenes of exotic, deep blue landscapes and the
like. (There can't be life there as such, but it's only fiction).

Would the brighness wash out all the color, or not? All answers
invited!

cheers, me deers!!
