(Also: Boo on UA for calling it the 787-900)

and the blue seats, labeled United First, if you open the seat map here:

I think it depends?

domestic routes on widebodies on polarized aircraft show the front cabin in dark blue, and depends how the cabin is sold for the ‘premium
Plus’ cabin. For example, I’m on SFO-OGG, which shows the first 3 rows in the back as regular blue E+ seats, as 2-4-2. These are the bigger premium plus seats, but sold as E+, with service the same as anywhere else in the Y cabin, and available to select fro anyone in Y. Same aircraft on DEN-OGG, same day, show as purple, as it is premium plus service, only available to those who have booked premium plus.
