Why is Facebook blue ?

Facebook is blue because Zuckerberg is colour-blind.


According to The New Yorker, the reason is simple. It’s because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colourblind. This means that blue is the colour Mark can see the best. In his own words Zuck says:

“Blue is the richest color for me; I can see all of blue.”

Yes, Mark is red-green colorblind, so blue is the easiest color for him to see. Additionally, Facebook has always been pretty monochromatic since from the beginning he has wanted the site to remain as simple as possible.
