In order to speculate the meaning of the word "house" appearing in blue in the book, we must first consider a phrase often used in the book: "out of the blue." According to Goenglish.com, the phrase means "sudden, unexpected, unprepared for." Reading further into this, "out of the blue" can also mean to come out of nothing. The house is, essentially, "nothing" therefore everything not blue is outside of the house.
In an alternate view, one must consider the phrase "this blue world." Why is the sky blue? Why is the ocean blue? Because blue is the shortest wavelength in the color spectrum that our eyes can see. Circling back to the previous theory, the color blue stands for both the ocean and the sky, both of which are infinite to the human eye, and both of which are are forever changing, expanding or contracting.
Oh look, granola bars!
