When a tractor was traded in to a dealer back then Ford encouraged their dealers to repaint the tractors in the latest color scheme. In the late 1950s and on for quite a few years that color was blue. That is one possible explanation.
The other explanation is that somebody just felt that it looked better blue. By now (I own a dozen N tractors) I have seen all sorts of color schemes - even JD green. Maybe the blue paint was on sale - who knows?
