Everyone is familiar with the saying "once in a blue moon". It normally means an uncommon occurrence. A blue can mean the second full in moon in a month or the third extra full moon in a season.

Blue and her owner Steve (and later, Steve's brother Joe) take us all along when they play their clue game. All of Blue's clues are always marked by her signature paw print. Once found, the clues are placed in the "handy-dandy" notebook and once all three are found, it's time to sit in the thinkin' chair and find out what Blue is up to!

Aureolin is a shade of yellow. Fallow is a shade of brown/tan. Harlequin is a shade of light green.
11. If you are of noble descent, you might be considered what?

Answer: A blue blood

This phrase is said to have derived from the fact that native Spaniards had fair skin, which displayed veins more prominently than people of Arabian origins. Thus, the aristocracy, particularly certain families in Castille who would not mix with the Moors, showed rather bluer blood vessels than "ordinary" people.

There was actually a sequel to this called "Return to the Blue Lagoon". It was made 11 years after the original (1980 and 1991 respectively), so it featured none of the original cast.
