Ask 100 people for their favorite color, and chances are thirty-five
of them will say blue. Blue is hands-down our most beloved color (the
runners-up are green, purple, red and orange, in that order) in spite of the
fact blue is the rarest color found in nature. I read an article last February
that explained blueberries aren’t really blue. Neither are bluish-looking
fruits like plums or Concord grapes. A random arrangement of microscopic
structures on their natural wax coating makes us see blue. Maybe that helps to
explain why blueberry muffins come out green, and blueberry ice cream looks
lavender.
