    I believe there are two reasons for this.

    The first, which is science based, is that there is no shade of blue in human skin tones. This is why they shoot scenes that will have computer graphics added in with a blue-screen. It just makes things that much easier.

    The second, which is PURELY A PERSONAL HYPOTHESIS, is that the human mind is used to seeing things with the sky as the background. A blue background just gets imbedded in your brain as a default background. It seems natural to use it more than any other color.
    That's just pure speculation though.
