A little occult lesson for those who want to know more about what they're looking at: the checkerboard floor represents duality or polarity of masculine and feminine energy. The left pillar of the tree of life is the black pillar and represents feminine energy. The right pillar of the tree of life is the white pillar and represents masculine energy. The two pillars, known as Jachim and Boaz, are intended to be far apart so that the adept can walk between the pillars (stay centered).
The top sphere of the right pillar (masculine energy, aka the beast) is represented by the color blue, thus all the seats are blue. A freemason lodge only allows male members, so it's all masculine energy. Females have their own lodge called the order of the eastern star.
Freemasons practice kabbalah, thus the kabbalistic symbolism everywhere.
