Though I realize that it's not the same as instant recognition from across the room, aren't most also stamped with the real nitty-gritty on them as well?

Since most squeegee material is bought by the roll this may not always be true depending on how and where you cut it. One would think that the color coding would be be universal but it isn't that simple. Each manufacturer wants to set them apart from the other to better distinguish and identify their products. Understandable but confusing to the end user who might be purchasing from different vendors.
In language barrier situations it is far easier to refer to a particular blade by color rather than explain it's purpose and benefits or drawbacks.
Not to side rail but I do have a small issue with those who recommend squeegee sharpeners. If anyone took the time it takes to properly perform this function one would easily conclude that simply replacing the blade is more cost effective. Add to that the fact that squeegee material is an extruded product, once the performance edge is compromised by essentially "sanding" albeit usually with expensive diamond bits, the material is now compromised by absortion. In other words solvents and inks can evenutally cause warping and uneveness..
Hopefully by the end of the day I will have logged in as tonypep or something similar once I have the time and intelligence to figure it out!
