Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Bleus is masculine. While it does derive from Old French and Frankish *blao* (related to Old High German *blao*), the gender is better explained by the fact that Old French color adjectives derived from Germanic sources typically retained masculine gender in their nominative singular form, which became the standard form in Modern French. The specific ending in -eu (from the Old French -au/-eau) does not inherently determine gender, but the masculine form became conventionalized as the base form for this adjective.
