Ah yes, indeed I wonder what was the rationale at this time (and if it still holds): bottom is Green so it’s the main/variable colour and Red is the “pattern”? We used to be more idealisitic about the base color than we are now. I believe that "dominant color" is the prevailing catalog policy now, although with marbled items the variability may make it difficult to determine which color looks dominant in every example. One of the resaons for moving toward that policy is because sellers tend to list with dominant color regardless of the prescribed catalog color. It's a question of being practical over being technically correct.
