No, it is the name given to a second full moon occurring in the same calendar month. (This does not happen often)Some sources indicate that the original "blue moon" was the 13th calendar-year full moon, which occurs because the calendar year has 11 more days than the 12 lunar months. Every two or three years there is a 13th full moon.

Although the Gregorian calendar has "months", it is not in any way governed by the phases of the moon. It is strictly a solar calendar, so its emphasis is to remain in sync with the solstices and equinoxes, the characteristics of the Earth's orbit of the sun. Only lunar calendars, like the Muslim calendar, and lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, are based on the phases of the moon, with each month beginning at the time of the new moon.
Is a blue moon colored blue?
No, it has nothing to do with color. A blue moon is the name for a second full moon in a calendar month.
