The “blue moon” reference is applied to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, thus correcting the timing of the last month of a season that would have otherwise been expected too early.

Blue Moons that are blue are incredibly rare and have nothing to do with the calendar or the Moon’s phases but are instead a result of atmospheric conditions.
