  It is the colour for visualisation in Tibetan Buddhism
  
  Sorry , I am not going to discuss in detail on visualisation ,because thats tantric (the Inner Esoteric Teaching of Tibetan Buddhism)

  ...Medicine Buddha's blue sky-colored holy body signifies omniscient wisdom and compassion as vast as limitless space and is particularly associated with healing both mental and physical suffering. Making a connection with him, practicing meditation, reciting his mantra or even just saying his name helps us achieve our potential for ultimate healing....
