Perhaps, although blue is the selection colour in the default theme we ship, and in many others too no doubt. Regardless of that, it shouldn't just be "going blue" anyway... it should be choosing a suitable colour from my theme. Unfortunately, most themes don't have a wealth of complementary colours to choose from... (ISTR suggesting long ago that it would be useful for themes to be able to specify two or three extra "highlight" colours, also useful for occasions where things like graphs or diagrams need to be presented in a themed fashion.)
