Blue has got been subjugated for too long. People say "I'm feeling blue" as if it is a Bad thing. "Blue bloods" are considered snobs. And, worst, when babies are born blue, extraordinary efforts are made to change there color. Blue has a long and proud tradition. Heck, the sky is blue. Now, those people that wear aqua, they are heretics. Not content with blue, they want to add some green.
