Blue
Why is the blue the standard negative colour in computing? Two obvious example spring to mind :
1. The dreaded Blue Screen of Death, on PCs which insist your computer has done something illegal and will shortly combust. Very rarely does your machine sort itself out after this.
2. The "game loading" screen on Halo 2, where everything is blue and you can't help but suspect some tit is busy cheating while you're unable to play the game. Some computer designer somewhere decided all errors and bad things had to be blue. Look at the Windows XP title bars. BLUE.
Some others things that are blue and suck :
The Conservatives.
Water (people drown in it)
If anyone else can think of another reason why the colour blue should be banned, buried in a pit, and the pit towed to another planet, please post a comment.

My Windows bars are silver.
Blue is not all bad. And your water argument is crap as water is clear on the whole.
My water argument is perfect and undeniable. QED.
No it's not. It only looks blue because it reflects the sky. Foolio.
No, the sky reflects the water. You can prove this by putting some sky in an exclosed space, and lo!
It is not blue.
Put water in an enclosed space (like a sink or bath) and lo! It is not blue.
Lies.
The sky is blue because that is the colour of light that gets dispersed by dust in the atmosphere the most. FACT. In the evening, the sun is lower, so the light travels through more atmosphere to reach us and so red gets dispersed more.
