My thoughts on that the light blue color:
  1) emulates the look of glass in sunlight a little better (Reflections of
the sky and all that)
  2) The blue tint helps to hide defects in the ABS
  3) The blue isn't subject to the yellowing that older clear pieces have
shown.

All my own opinion, of course.
