Why blue screen?

I was wondering why microsoft chose a blue colour for their error/crash screen aka Blue screen of death

I am sure all windows users have at least got one once in their computing lifetime, but i am curious to why that colour?
I mean, you'd think it might be red or something since red is associated with warnings and anger
Although, i must admit, Red screen of death doesn't hvae the same zing or appeal of the former.

Any other apt colours you can think of? or the reason why it's blue in the first place?
