The reason for this is that Mark Zuckerberg, the young founder of Facebook is red-green colorblind
and blue is the richest colour for him which he confirmed in an online interview with Leo

Another important commercial factor for using blue color is the fact that most colors tend to
distract the viewers. Blue on the other hand acts as a transparent background to the main
content as visible to the human brain due to which most popular websites tend to use the blue
color. It can easily be called a webmaster's favorite color. Blue color is also sometimes referred
to as 'Nirvana' for the brain.
All these factors make blue a prominent color on Facebook.
