Why Facebook is in blue color?

Ever since they started as 'thefacebook'(Earlier version of facebook), 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.

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 color-blind and blue is the richest color 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.
