The convention, established when the gameset was still strictly fiction 
(which was later adhered to by Zendo, among other releases) is for the 
basic colors to be Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. When the Treehouse 
revolution came, it was a no-brainer to put RYBG in one set, the Xeno 
transparents in the other, and an opaque in each. The only question my new 
vision left unanswered was if the rainbow set should include the black or 
the white pieces.
