The truth behind the origins of Dragon Ball Super's Super Saiyan Blue is actually rather simple, according to an interview with Akira Toriyama.

Summary

Dragon Ball Super's Super Saiyan Blue transformation was chosen to be blue because its predecessor, Super Saiyan God, was red.
The blue color creates a dramatic contrast with the red hue of Super Saiyan God and emphasize the transformation's difference in appearance.
A hypothetical Super Saiyan "White" transformation was considered, but it was ultimately decided against due to its similarity to the plans for the next villain.
