Why do clonetrooper blasters fire blue blasts?
Any ideas?

Because it looks better for the movie to fire different coloured blasts...
I don't think it has any meaning.
Lucasfilm used purple-red coloured blast for ion cannon. (Tyrant hit over Hoth)
The jawa ion-rifle blast was blue...
Lucasarts used blue coloured blasts in their SW games...
Everything is messed up or colour doesn't count at all concerning blasts.

I wasn't asking for 'meaning', it's just a known fact from the OT that all infantry weapons fire red blasts, and no other color.

Indeed- so the question is, in the space between Episode III and IV, why did blue blasts become red blasts?

Doubt it- Veers AT-AT fires a "maximum firepower" red blasts to destroy the shield generator on Hoth- AT-TEs cannons fire blue blasts exclusively.

Imperial nationalization of weapons corporations leads to standardization of energy weapon tracer beams. Red for surface weapons, green for heavy/spacecraft weapons, blue for Imperial ion cannons.
The Rebels use non-Imperial corporate sources to get weapons, but it appears that the infantry level standardization is uniform now. But their black-market ion cannon fired red-purple blasts, and their starships and fighters fire red beams.
I don't think it really means anything. I think the weapon designer can make it whatever they want.
