Blue is for the first house, which may be either Senate or the House of Representatives; Orange is for the second house, which is whichever isn’t the first house; and Green is for both houses.
Maybe it's because it was never really enforced by any establishment?
It can’t be enforced, since it never became a law. See my other comment on this post
