I would assume they were color coded to ensure they had the maximum amount of time between the choosing of the envelopes and then posing the right question.

But I agree, there was absolutely no reason to have them color coded at all other than to buy some more time being that this was all live.

But, again, there's no need to "dick around" at all if they had two questions ready for two different scenarios.

If they needed to "dick around" then obviously they weren't very well prepared, which then begs the question of why they'd bother with coloured envelopes if they're so sodding useless.
