Not all whales are blue. Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) which is the largest animal is blue.
Other whales have different colors. Few examples are the following:
>>RIGHT WHALE (Genus Eubalaena) are baleen whales that are black with some white on their chins.
>>GRAY WHALES (Eschrichtius robustus) is a baleen whale that is gray.
>>BELUGA WHALE (apterus leucas) is white
>>BOWHEAD WHALE (Balaena mysticetus) is usually black with a white spot on the lower snout.
>>HUMPBACK WHALE (Megaptera novaeangliae) come in 4 different color schemes, ranging from white to gray to black to mottled.
>>MINKE WHALE (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) is very dark gray above and lighter below, sometimes with pale trapezoidal stripes behind the flippers on the top.
>>NARWHAL (Monodon monoceros) is bluish-gray with white blotches .
>> ORCA (Orcinus orca ) -"The "Killer Whale" is mostly black with distinctive white patches.
>>SPERM WHALE (Physeter macrocephalus)is usually dark gray to black, but is occasionally light gray.♥

G'day Tookie Toes,
Thank you for your question.
Not all whales are blue. For example, Moby Dick was said to be the great white whale. The largest species of whale is the blue whale but whales can be black, white, grey and even brown.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

The blue sperm whale... a hundred and fifty feet long from nostril to tail and 575,000 kilos. in basic terms kidding. The blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, is the biggest of the two... measuring one hundred feet long and four hundred,000 kilos. The sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus, can arise to sixty 5 feet long and a few ninety,000 kilos.

No. I once ate part of one that was grey. They taste pretty good. I don't know how a blue one taste though.
