Why do people say Blue is a mod color?

Like... I just really don't get it...

I'm able to do it :/

You actually can, the reason people say that is a paragraph from the forum rules:

 11. Do NOT use blue or red text in your posts. Blue and red text is used by moderating staff for mod actions to make sure people take notice of what they are saying. Exceptions are made for formatting in opening posts of Project Threads, Tutorial threads, Completed Script threads, and Resource threads if you need something to be very obvious like disclaimers or important instructions. (Since its an opening post, it shouldn't interfere with mod voice.)

Usually, there should be enough colors to get over it.

It used to be just Red that we preferred people to not use, but some people found the color too confrontational.

There is really no reason to use it outside of formatting in opening posts anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue.

This thread goes to prove that people do not read the forum rules.

Read the forum rules. They will tell you NOT to use blue, which you've just done.

Not reading the rules is close to being a violation of Rule 13.
