We find blue and green not to be a good combination of colors to use as iodine makes them both appear to be the same color. If you fold back the tab you can see what color it is supposed to be but don’t get many people who will go to that effort. Also they aren’t the best with green bedding as it stick to them. Still better than the tape that needs replacing every week though.

Agree with green and blue looking the same, yellow in front and green or blue back it is very simple.
