The old TSR/SSI game Unlimited Adventures had randomized potion colors. It's also how I learned that khaki is not pronounced 'kahiki' when trying to explain what was going on to someone (I knew khakis as a type of trouser not a color).

Edit: or maybe I'm thinking of another gold-box game if that one didn't have some random generation. Hrm.
Pixel dungeon does the same thing, you don't know when you start a run what any color potion does. So they're randomized.
That's a roguelike convention. Potion colors are randomized. Runes/scrolls usually arent.
