Not really. Laundry bluing adds colloidal suspension of Prussian blue to the wash water. I've heard that there is an azure blue suspension offered in some places, but it works the same way. It leaves a very slight blue tinge to white fabrics, which makes them appear whiter. Some brands of laundry detergent use optical brighteners for the same purpose.

In the pre-bleach days, laundry bluing was added to rinse water for white clothes, and made them look whiter. Have not seen it in years. If you are growing a crystal project, try adding a few drops of liquid food color.
It is all borax unless it is considered with scent ..............
Bluing is a very mild dye that cancels out the slight yellow tinge in white clothes caused by the detergent. It makes clothes look "whiter than white". Today's laundry detergents contain chemicals that do the same thing as bluing, except that the clothes washed in it look even more white under sunlit conditions. Bluing.
