Why Facebook blue? ‘Because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colour blind’ reveals an article in Digital Inspiration from July 2012.
A simple and logical reason for the Harvard dropout Founder of ‘The facebook’, the first social network, to choose blue as his main communications colour code. And guess what?
