Blue and purple/violet are automatically out anyway because of traditional link
colorings. Green is out because green text looks horrible on white background.
A statistically significant portion of the population is also some form of
colorblind -- and brightnesses of a single color work just as well for relaying
information on a single scale as two colors. Two colors are most effective
when a two-dimensional scale is needed (not really the case here).
