Not to mention that blue is a very difficult illumination under which
to read things clearly, because your eyes have to keep changing focus
between the blue and any other colors in the environment.  Extreme
example of this is blue field with red lettering or vise versa -- it
shimmers and vibrates and is generally hard to look at.  In optical
terms, your single-element, water-based eye lenses have a lot of
chromatic abberation, which the extensive in-line image processing
deals with as well as it can.  Blue is cool, but functionally it sucks.
