Cult Websites and the Color Blue--Any psychologists here?

So what's up with the predominant color being blue on these two websites?

Anyone here ever dealt in the psychology of colors?

I'm interested in color and how it affects people

I would guess blue is used because it's soothing, calming, trustworthy. Here's some links on color psychology.

Two websites does not a trend make.

Compare the Jehovah's Witnesses (http://jw.org/), the Unification Church (http://unificationnews.com/),the Raelians (http://usa.rael.org/), etc.
