On April 1, 2013, Google made several April fools pranks, presenting pretend curious and improbable projects as if they were truly active, complete with demonstration videos and interviews with the chief engineers of the "projects". Among these, as reported in the general list of the best Google jokes and tricks, there was a rather simple one called Gmail Blu that made the verse to Windows Blu, the name of the next update of Windows 8.
Well that Gmail Blu joke was really made and you can set the blue color to Gmail giving it a decidedly fresher, more pleasant and less informal look .
To return to the joke, it is worth wading over the Gmail Blue presentation video that shows how much more beautiful the Google Mail mailbox is if it was colored blue.
A developer made Gmail Blue real by creating a free Google Chrome extension that turns the normal Gmail interface into a beautiful blue colored Gmail .
Then install the Blue Gmail extension and then open the Mail.google.com site and see how pleasant the blue color is, leaving the interface of messages and mail perfectly legible without hassle.
If you don't like it, you can uninstall the extension from the Chrome extensions menu and go back to normal white Gmail
