If by that you straightforwardly mean, “if this is all you have to complain about, then you must have an easy and smooth life,” then you’re right.
But, if by that you sarcastically mean, “you must have a pretty stressful life if you get bothered by every little detail like the color of your alarm clock light,” then you’re wrong.
Yeah, next you’ll come up with proverbs like “one cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy sentiments.” 
I had a blue alarm clock once, because K-mart was offering a good price on an alarm clock with a cassette player, so you could wake up to the music you wanted to hear, rather than what the radio station wanted to play. At the time, it didn’t even occur to me to think that the different color might present problems. (This was well before bluish headlights became the rage.) Only when it was in my room, casting a blue glow across the room I was trying to sleep in, did I realize I had a problem. But it’s been a deal-breaker ever since.
Given that a blue clock display lights up the room, and red doesn’t, why the Sam Hill does anyone make alarm clocks with blue displays? That’s the part I’m missing.
Right. I asked about this in GQ yesterday. The main answer seemed to be “marketing”.
I’m with you on the blue thing, I bought a stereo from the sharper image that had a pleasantly blue lighted background, and, much to my suprise, the brightest fecking LED light in the history of LED lights, that, again suprisngly, doesn’t show itself until the damn thing is shut off. It is so bloody bright, that If I lose another 10 pounds, I can x-ray myself by this light. I’ve actually had to resort to several coats of black nail polish to squelch the blue beacon. Bastards.
I like my blue alarm clock. I’ve never noticed that it’s particularly bright; it certainly doesn’t keep me awake. And it’s easier to see from across the room without my glasses on than my old red one was.
No sarcasm. Maybe a touch of envy.
As for why some people might LIKE the blue clocks, they make a reasonable substitute for a night light. I’ve found that our clock provides just enough illumination for me or hubby to navigate around without turning on the main light when the other is sleeping. So long as the clock isn’t glaring directly into my face, I can live, er, sleep with that level of room light present.
[nitpick]
It’s not that red light travels further through the air, it’s that it is refracted more by the atmosphere and so hugs the earth’s curvature to a degree, whilst the blue light goes blasting past into space without bending (as much).
[/nitpick]
Because everything has to have a blue LED on it now; even if the device doesn’t need it in any way; soon we will have blue LED pencil sharpeners and blue LED doorstops.
Gotta nitpick your nitpick.
Blue light gets scattered by the air to a far higher degree than red light. Ever notice that the sun is red at sunset? That’s because the red light can travel through all that air just fine, yet the blue light gets scattered all over the place. This is also why the sky is blue, you look away from the sun and you see blue light that was headed for somewhere else, but was scattered to your eye. Blue light does not 'go blasting past into space" at all. IN fact, if you look through the atmosphere at the sun from some distance from the earth, you will see a red ring. This is the red that that did indeed go 'blasting past into space", it gets scattered a bit by the earth’s atmosphere , but the blue light doesn’t even make it through at all. This is also why lunar eclipses are reddish.
My new alarm clock was too bright, so I bought some of that clingy car window tinting stuff. I ended up cutting out and applying three layers before I got the light down enough so that I could sleep, but still read the time.
Oddly, I went to Target (admittedly, last year) and got a dual-alarm GE clock-radio with a CD player for…$20? Some way low price. Not even close to $50, I know that. It dropped off my nightstand once so it has a ding in it, but the pretty green numbers are readable day and night against their black background.
Hmm, apparently the price has gone up?
I damn sure don’t remember paying no $50 for it. shrug Maybe they all realized how wonderful it was? 
I can’t stand clocks with red lights. Somehow the red just irritates my normally stressed out mind because red is an ‘angry’ color. It used to be really hard for me to find a clock that didn’t have red numbers or red lights, but now it is much easier.
I really, really hope they don’t stop making clocks with blue or green lights, because I can’t sleep in the same room as a clock with red numbers.
I replaced my too bright blue clock a few weeks ago. The blue clock was free, I found it sitting on the curb along with some really kickass pimp shoes* that my friend took and an old suitcase that we suspect contained the dismembered corpse of a prostitute. Or perhaps was full of cocaine left forgotten in some junkie’s attic since 1978. Or it might have been coated in Hanta virus infected rat urine. Quite possibly all of the above. Anyway, it exuded bad vibes, so we gave it a wide berth.
I should have left the clock there too, but I wound up keeping it for very long time. Part of the appeal was that it’s quite clearly a hotel-grade alarm clock that someone somehow got off the steel mounting plate it was screwed down to. It’s damn near indestructable.
It’s one of the ones with a switch that goes from GODAMNTHATSBRIGHT to less bright but is still too bright in a dark room. Eventually my girlfriend got sick of me pushing it off the back of the nightstand (a nightly ritual) and made me get a new clock. I grabbed one that looked promising at Costco. It also claimed to have “nature sounds”, which I’m interested in, since I sleep with a fan on most of the time, and the idea of replacing that white noise source with something that uses less electricity is appealing.
It’s an LCD that’s backlit by green Indiglo. I didn’t realize how sensitive my eyes are to green light, but even at it’s darkest setting, I can see it through my eyelids. Which means it gets turned around and eventually pushed off the back of the nightstand like the blue clock. It’s also got a “light sensor” that behaves in the exact opposite way I want it to - as it gets darker in the room, the light sensor makes the clock get brighter. This is a feature I look for in outdoor security lighting, not in alarm clocks.
The “nature sounds” are apparently recorded in the wilds of the planet Roboton IV, where everything is a machine, including the ocean waves and the seagulls. Remember the sound effect when all your cities were wiped out in “Missile Command” on the Atari 2600? That’s what the ocean waves sound like. I can’t even explain how the frogs sound. I think they’re supposed to be frogs, they may be crickets, or some sort of screeching tree dwelling simian native to whatever southeast asian nation that this sound chip was produced in. It’s hard to tell.
Next time I get a chance, I’m getting the most cheapass red LED alarm clock I can find. No nifty features, no radio, no CD player, no snooze bar that opens a menu detailing your various snoozing options, no stolen property. Just a nice, soft red glow, and an alarm that goes beeep-beeep-beeep. That’s it.
*Serious. They were size 14 psuedo-wingtips that were made of this not-quite dayglo orange pleather that had a faux woodgrain/possibly some sort of attempt at reptile skin texture to it. They were solid.
