An additional and very practical reason for people choosing to paint their porch ceiling blue is due to the belief that blue paint keeps insects away during the summer and spring months of the year. This is, however, a myth and not necessarily proven. O’Neill said to Today, “If an insect perceives that a ceiling is really the sky, it instinctively wouldn’t nest there.”
