The Making of ROTJ reveals that it was Lawrence Kasdan who first suggested that Luke should have a different color lightsaber for ROTJ. However, the idea wasn't actually acted on until post-production, when the bright blue sky of the footage shot in the Yuma desert made Luke's blue rotoscoped saber blade all but invisible. (The original blue saber can be seen in the film's trailers.)
