Why are Krishna and Rama depicted as Blue in color

Total Awareness Is Wisdom
Only God has total wisdom, none else. It is something like infinite space or sky. What is the sign of infinite ocean and infinite sky? Sky is infinite, ocean is fathomless. What is their colour? Their colour is blue. One is infinite, the other is fathomless. That is why they appear to be blue in colour. So, God is described as having blue colour complexion.
What do you mean by blue? If He had blue colour at the time of birth, He would be kept in exhibition. That is not what is meant by blue colour. None can understand God’s capacities and potentialities; none can fathom His depth. Whence the words along with the mind rebound in futility without comprehending Him (Yatho vacho nivarthanthe aprapya manasa saha). So, God is beyond the word for description, beyond the mind for comprehension.
