I have heard three theories as to why they were blue. First was they had argyria from drinking acid drinks and eating with silver goblets and flatwear.
Second that they had a genetic disorder due to inbreeding, either the same disorder as the blue people of Kentucky have, or the one where the heart is hooked up backwards and pumps into the veins instead of the arteries. And third, the original royalty was from another planet and they had copper instead of iron in their blood, like some of the insects do, which gives a bluish green blood.
