Why are Steel Lines Blue?

[Trusk'our he/him]

Does anybody know why Steelsight lines are blue? Is it just for narrative purposes, or is it actually tied to some deeper meaning, such as what spectrum of light Steelsight belongs to (even though it's a Spiritual thing rather than physical)?

I don't think we have a definitive answer to this. We do know that color is important in the Cosmere. and that Red can be a signal for corrupted investiture (red eyes, red smoke from a Soulstamp on a person, etc.) so there is probably a realmatic reason for the (possible) Connection showing as blue. Maybe it's because you are viewing Connection through the Cognitive (as opposed to what I posted here about what I though the metal lines were and how they resemble something seen in Rhythm of War)?
