James Cameron, the director of the movie Avatar and the upcoming sequel Avatar: The Way of Water, is explaining why the Na’vi people are blue.
The Na’vi people are ten-foot-tall aliens who live on Pandora and all of them are blue, which has never been explained through the films.
If you’re thinking that there’s a scientific reason for the color, you’re wrong!

James explained to Empire that he chose the color blue because there weren’t other characters who were already the same color.
“As for the color: green was taken. There was a long history of green aliens. Plus, the Hulk. And the human colors, pinks and browns, weren’t alien. SpongeBob was yellow,” James said. “That pretty much left blue and purple. Purple is my favorite color, but I figured we’d use that for one of our main bioluminescence colors, which we did, associating it with Eywa and anything sacred to the Navi.”
He added, “Also, my mom told me about this dream she had where there was a ten-foot-tall blue woman with six breasts. Cool image. I drew her, but the six breasts thing didn’t come out looking as good as it sounds, plus would mess with the rating. So, anyway… blue.”
