Why are they blue? I have no frelling idea.
Or maybe it could be one of those:
* they think that kind of blue is "branché".
* it has some kind of recognition purposes.... hey, maybe there's even some Red Gloves somewhere that we haven't met yet.
* that blue color is due to the special material they're made from, which can [insert here interesting things that material could do which might be useful to your plot]
* the blue color is due to a special pigment used in the gloves processing. And due to their owners being genetically modified, they -and only they- can see it in the dark which is quite handy sometimes.
* they're always interrupted and sent away to kill people while they are doing the dishes. And we can't blame them for not liking pinky gloves, can we?
* ....
Anyway, the blue gloves are linked with them being genetically modified...
