Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gurudev & Sri Gauranga.
Hare Krishna
Why is it that Lord Krishna is blue, and Lord Rama is colored Green?
Is there any significance to this? Just a question that popped into my mind when I looked @ the Sad-bhuja form of Sriman Mahaprabhuji.
Your Inquisitive Servant,

Hare Krishna!!! Garga Muni confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam (can't remember the verse)that although the child Krishna was blackish, He also appears in three other colors -- red, white and yellow. He exhibited His white and red complexions in the Satya and Treta ages respectively. He did not exhibit the remaining color, yellow-gold, until He appeared as Lord Caitanya , who is known as Gaurahari. So complexion varies according to incarnation. Since Krishna is Purnavatara, the complete descent of the Divine, His hue is same as that of Lord Vishnu.
