MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are most jeans blue?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are most jeans blue?

While there are all kinds of colors and styles when it comes to jeans the most common popular color is blue. But why?

The reason blue was picked as the color for denim is because of the chemical properties of blue the dye. Most other dyes will permeate fabric in hot temperatures, making the color stick. The natural indigo dye which was used in the first early pairs of jeans would only stick to the outside of the thread. So there actually is a real practical reason behind it.
