Distant green hills seem to look blue, why? Many kinds of particles - dust, ash, smoke etc., swim in the air. When sunlight falls on them then different colors of light refract from them. Blue and violet colors are of more temperature, so they refract more than the green, yellow and red which are of low temperature, that is why hills look blue.

What makes the blue hills blue?

Distant things appear bluish because of the atmosphere. This is particularly noticeable with things that are large enough for you to actually see from miles away, like hills or mountains. Since "Blue Hills/Mountains" is a pretty common term, I don't know which specific ones you're referring to. It's also possible they're called that because the stone they're made of is bluish in color.
