Black cat,

You're right. In that structure blue is called a predicate adjective. It describes the subject. When a noun is involved, it's called a predicate nominative.

1. The sky is blue. <predicate adjective>
2. He is a young man. <predictae nominative>

Predicate adjectives and predicate nominatives are called "subject complements". They follow linking verbs.
