Id est, why is it called blue? Thus far I found only answers like: because in the lodge the ceiling is blue or because blue is a symbol of friendship. I would like to find out is a little bit more about this.

The blue lodge as I understand it is like a flight similator, if you crash one, no harm done you just get out of the machine and walk away. AS I understand it the 3 degrees of the Blue lodge are like a dry run at the real deal. You decide to quit, no harm done. Apearently there is an agreement that can be made past the blue lodge wherein there is no turning back, one can only go foward.

As Leveller mentioned, in the USA, it generally refers to the color scheme of the Lodge room. It is common to find Masonic Lodge rooms with the walls painted blue, and having blue carpeting.
This is not actually a requirement, just a tradition here. There are many US Lodges that are not painted or decorated blue, but the majority of them fall under this color scheme.

Nope. The 3 degrees of the Blue Lodge are the real deal.
Everything else is just an addition.
Maybe you could elaborate on this so-called agreement?

It's telling you that everything that you need is found within the 3 degrees but that you need to look deep around and inside of yourself to help you with interpretation.
