Animal Crossing blue screen of death

I'm not sure what the association is between the color blue and the concept of death, but blue tends to be the color of choice when it comes to informing the player that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong in the game. Perhaps burnt sienna or turqoise just didn't have the clout to convey the severity of the situation, and red would only add to the player's fury. Have you ever encountered Animal Crossing's polite, but unceasingly blue screen of death?
