Where I can find info about beer bottles and the colours? can be a beer bottled in any coloured bottle?

I am looking for beer bottling information for my degree thesis in the university, i would like to know if a beer can be bottled on any colour bottle. The common colour for beer bottles is the amber and I know that it is for beer protection from the UV and light, but there are other colours like clear and green bottles, i will appreciate any help.

Thanks, i will appreciate any help

    Yea the light will react with the proteins and turn the beer skunky and also cloudy. Miller sells in clear bottles and sometimes goes skunky. Many beers (Heineken etc) are in green bottles. Brown and green are the most Iv seen.
