That sounds suspiciously like SCIENCE.

Have you noticed how raspberry-flavoured drinks and sweets are sometimes blue?
It's like red has already been taken by strawberries, so they have to think of another colour, and just arbitrarily chose blue. Well I guess a lot of the other fruit colours are already chosen, so it had to be blue to avoid ambiguity.

But when it comes to jelly they just make it a darker red, which seems more logical.

sometimes blue means "bubblegum flavour"
