does the moon ever appear blue and if so, why?
A blue moon appears once every two or three years. It is an astronomical phenomenon where the moon actually colors blue. This is why it is called a 'blue moon'.
The term "blue moon" refers to the occurrence of two full moons in a single calendar month. The moon itself does not physically turn blue during a blue moon phase; it will look the same as any other full moon. The term "blue moon" is simply a naming convention based on this calendar occurrence.
A blue moon is just what we call a second full moon in a month.
A blue moon is when a full or new moon occurs twice in a month.

Its fairly rare, but sometimes a second new moon may appear in a month, called a 'blue moon'.
A blue moon can refer to the second full moon in a month or the moon actually being blue. We sometimes see a full moon twice in one month due to the moon's cycle of slightly less than one month. A moon which is actually blue may result from pollutants or dust in the atmosphere, making the moon look blue.

It would seem to come from an olde English word "belewe" meaning betrayer.This was used by the early clergy to describe a moon which was too early for the lent moon. This moon was called the betrayer moon or belewe moon.
The moon appears big in the sky due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is near the horizon, making it seem larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.
