I asked my 79 y/o mother if she knew. She didn't even blink. "Because they're not blue."

Impossible to argue with that logic.

Yeah, imagine the scandal of a blue barn!

Lots of roofs in Asia are blue and I have no idea why lol

They're actually blue if you run fast enough towards them.

Running towards them isn't a problem. Impacting with a barn at the speed of light might be.
