Old Blue, as often referred to by players, was a placeholder penguin color, featured only in Penguin Chat 3. It was not available for players in Club Penguin, but could appear as a result of some glitches. Some artwork of penguins in the game also used Old Blue.
In the game Catchin' Waves, in the short intro that was shown right before the player was lifted up by the penguin on the jet pack, two Old Blue penguins were shown behind the player, and one was holding a red surfboard.
During The Fair 2014, there was a glitch where Old Blue dancing penguin(s) would appear during The Space Squid's ride animation.
