I mean why are things related to Hanukkah blue & white?? I know they're the traditional colors but I'm wondering why.

I just was reading about this, and here is what I found out:
Blue and white are the official colors of Israel. The Israeli national flag features a blue six-pointed Star of David on a white background. The Israeli flag got its color from the traditional Jewish prayer cloth, which is white and blue. Some Jewish people maintain that the blue in the prayer cloth represent water and the white represents the sky. Symbolically, this would serve as a reminder that G-d is everywhere, all around us, all the time. Hanukkah has stayed with the blue and white color tradition, reflecting the colors of prayer cloths, the Israeli flag, and the omnipresence of G-d.

First it is the official colours for the State of Israel. They got them from the old testament when Moses laid down the laws about the priests.
