Some people that pick red might just think that everyone will pick red. Then everyone survives. In a way it could reflect a positive view of humanity. Plus they wouldn't die. You'd need to pick red to make sure you're still alive to kill them all.

Yes, isn't that always the excuse? "The others are bad so I'm justified in being bad".

But seriously, I am way more uncertain than I first thought. Basically the only reason to choose blue is because you know that a lot of people will do it, so that in order to save their life you choose to put yours at risk.
