Coca-Cola chose red long time ago, if branding and artist experts told
them another colour would be better it wouldn't matter; their color is
red and they can't change it now.

Moreover we are not in the business of refreshing beverages, we are in
the business of revision control, and in revision control red is old,
green is new. Period.
