The Moon does not turn blue. The term Blue Moon Happens on a rare ocassion when there are two (2) Full Moons in a Month.
I hope this answers your Question

Visibly blue moons
The most obvious meaning of blue moon is when the moon (not necessarily a full moon) appears to a casual observer to be unusually bluish, which is a rare event. The effect can be caused by smoke or dust particles in the atmosphere, such as happened after forest fires in Sweden in 1950 and Canada in 1951 and, notably, after the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, which caused the moon to appear blue for nearly two years.
But generally it's when there's 2 full moons in the same calendar month of the Gregorian Calendar. (That's the calendar you probably use.. with 12 months, january to december)
