Fact of the Day: Why are hyperlinks blue?

While going through the internet—or even through an SDC newsletter—you’ll notice that clickable rows of text are coloured blue…

But is there a reason why all links have that distinct, blue colour?

Hyperlinks are blue because in the early days of the internet, web browsers used blue as a default colour.

Blue was chosen for the way it stood out against the grey backgrounds of early computer screens.

To this day, blue is still the most reader-friendly hyperlink colour in use today.
