Sometimes health is green too.
Real mana is blue.
Could've been green or yellow or white or purple or etc., etc. though.

Diablo 1?
pretty sure this is the answer
It still is for meJust a guess, but in many cultures water was spiritually speaking a source of power, life essence, the elemental force yadda yadda.

Green is health, you crazy peeps.
I'd assume primary colour.
Red is colour of health... so choose between Yellow or Blue. Blue shows up better

Diablo's system was almost certainly influenced by Ultima underground's use of it. I think there are even earlier examples of blue being used to represent Mana than Ultima and Golden Axe Warrior but they were blue potions in inventories. I think the eye of the beholder games had blue Mana potions.My first guess was this.
EDIT: like I won't get into an argument over it, but this was the first time I remember a game refer to "Mana" and use blue to represent it. It's interesting to see other people post info that predates this.
