10. Why Facebook is all blue in color?

"Blue is the richest color for me. I can see all of blue," Zuckerberg told in an interview with New Yorker reporter Jose Antonio Vargas. Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind, so blue is the easiest color for him to see. Additionally, Facebook has always been pretty monochromatic since from the beginning he has wanted the site to remain as simple as possible. But this didn’t prevent it from being world’s largest social networking site with over a billion users.
