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.

The
reason for this is that Mark Zuckerberg, the young founder of Facebook
is red-green color-blind 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.
