    facebook founder said: blue is the richest color for me – I can see all of blue.Colors don’t matter much to Zuckerberg; a few years ago, he took an online test and realized that he was red-green color-blind. Blue is Facebook’s dominant color, because, of what he said. Facebook is not the alone Internet brand loves blue . An interesting study by Color Lovers has revealed that blue is the most popular and dominant color among the top 100 sites in the world followed by the red color.

    Blue is the color of trust. It's serious. You need to wear a dark blue shirt when going to court, for example...

    Actually, it doesn't suit Facebook and their needs, but it does make an impact. People started to associate this particular shade of blue with Facebook, and it's much stronger than Google+ logo, for example.
