It is my understanding that at the time this (the bright blue) was a color that was not really being used that much and so the product in the bright blue boxes drew your eye and really stood out... of course blue is a lot more common packaging material now...

i find it interesting that some of the victorian sets had lavender packaging (which I rather like), though I believe it was a marketing ploy to appeal to little girls wanting the victorian theme as a dollhouse toy.

It's quite a distinctive colour. When in a toy store, you can tell, even from a distance, that there are PM for sale.
