Why is blue such a rare color in nature?

The blue foods question got me thinking about this. Aside from a select few, there arent many blue animals i can think of either.
After some google searching i came up with this “Blue is rare in living nature as it is a colour that is associated with organic molecules in alkaline conditions: few living systems have an alkaline chemistry.” I realize this statement pretty much answers my question, but can someone explain that to me a little more in depth?
