Coincidentally, Lazard and Evercore are also blue.

asiamoneyI was told once that the color blue tends to evoke feelings of trustworthiness, and that this is why officials' uniforms are often in blue. Maybe it has something to do with that. Then again, maybe that's just BS.

Yeah I think you're right. Check out the "Results" section here:

It's a good color to have on your side when you've also got a Greg Smith to deal with.

Red, on the other hand, will send you straight out of the bulge bracket.

 

What's the moral??? My theory is that blue is the favorite color for majority of people...UBS is just too original....btw i know my theory is stupid so dont blast me.

Do what you want not what you can!
 

I hadn't until now, but in general a lot of companies use blue.
