Colors used on bonds

If companies issued more than one denomination of bond, they typically used different colors for different denominations. I have discovered no clear-cut relationship between colors and denominations.

For instance, 35% of all $1000 bonds included some shade of green. However, the relationship is statistically insignificant because 29% of all bond denominations are green.
