You want green? It comes in green. You want yellow? It comes in yellow. You want orange? It comes in orange. I just happen to like Blue from a visual POV.

It’s dyed to be pretty.

Marketing gimmick from *way* back. Lucas Bols (who first created Curaçao in the 1700s) later added the blue colorant and sold the stuff as Crème de Ciel ("cream of the sky").

I guess when most of the competition was colorless, it did stand out.
