There are lots of reasons to be throwing up, but the color blue is not natural in any way. The only way you can get blue into you is by ingesting it, or something purple and the red dye gets absorbed leaving only blue. The most common cause of vomiting would be infectious, however if the vomiting persists or it turns green you should contact a doctor or emergency room rapidly.
Hard to say what caused your vomiting but if it was only for a day or two, there should be nothing to worry about. The blue color is likely something you ate or your medicine and again, nothing to worry about.
You should be examined as soon as possible
