Why Facebook is Blue in Color? 

When you open Facebook, the first thing that you notice is the blue color it uses. Ever wondered
why is Facebook so blue in color and not changing its color scheme?
Ever since they started as 'thefacebook', Facebook has stayed with the blue color. Although
major changes have been made in the Facebook theme since then, the major unchanged thing
has been the blue color.

An exciting fact: In its earlier days, thefacebook.com required you to have an .edu email id to
join.
Everywhere from its login page to Facebook groups, you find only blue.

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

Laporte.

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.
