Is the only reason you would not use it because it will hide contamination or is there another reason?
I've never seen blue coloured brake fluid, some car manufactures use red/pink tinted stuff but this tends to be the 5.0 stuff which is used in suspension as well as brake systems. Fluid tends to discolour with use an age it can also change colour or have particles within it when elements of the system begins to wear, seals, lines and in the extreme master cylinder bores, the worse the discolouration the worse any issue may be.
The fluid is like a system indicator if you like nice clean fluid = good system. You will not get this early warning with blue fluid obviously it depends on the darkness of the blue but I dont think any tint will give you as much warning as most 5.1 which are almost as clear as water.
