A similar statement is found in Chapter 1 of The Hobbit ("Not the Gandalf who was responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures?"). Hammond and Scull, in their LotR Reader's Companion comments on this paragraph, equte "into the Blue" with "into the unknown, into the 'wide (or wild) blue yonder'".
