Why Facebook is Blue?

Most of the people know that what the Facebook is.It's a famous social networking site.When you open Facebook,you can see first page in Blue colour. Have you ever thought why Facebook is Blue in colour.


      Facebook started as "thefacebook".It has Blue colour since then. Enormous changes have been occurred in Facebook features but not in colour.

Early days thefacebook


An unknown fact: In its earlier days www.thefacebook.com required you to have an .edu e-mail Id to join.

You can see Blue colour everywhere from its login page to groups.



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 favourite colour. Blue colour is also sometimes referred to as 'Nirvana' for the brain.

All these factors make blue a prominent color on Facebook.
