Why are all evil eye charms blue?

Is this a European influence or just a convenient color? Turkish, Greek, and other evil eye pendants and charms are superstitiously believed to ward off illlness caused by jealousy or evil intentions. Do most middle eastern/Mediterranean cultures choose blue, because this is the predominant color eye of peoples who have ravaged, invaded, colonized, expanded their empire into their home countries?

the evil eye idea comes from the aegeon region, (and other areas) where light-colored eyes are somewhat rare, people with green eyes are thought to bestow the curse, intentionally or unintentionally
this may have arisen because people from cultures unused to the evil eye, such as Northern Europe, are likely to transgress local customs against staring or praising the beauty of children.
