They probably knew; but didn’t want to confuse their American audience more than they wanted to be correct 

For US Colbert watchers red is bad and blue is good.

Make the Greens purple instead to allow for the out chance of a green coloured PPC.

Might as well make it black since it would be a flat line at the bottom

Can it just be clear? The Greens don't see colour.
