A question about coffee?

Under the theory that red means stop and green means go, why is regular coffee come in red container's and decaf comes in green containers?

Update:

Yes, I forgot about blue, and orange. But I'm going with the generic coffee's and such. But these other colors will have to be investigated.

Update 2:

Don? Your answer has no merit. If red mean hot, then green would have to mean cold. Stop licking the window and think before you type.

    because caffeine will make you drive like a maniac and pass everyone, but then the red light stops you. So when you're in your car feeling like an idiot for wasting all that gas...you're gonna look at the cup and remember not to drink coffee ever again

    Well, it seems to be your error...the red signifies "HOT"...and the green signifies 'decaf'... I would advise you not to concentrate too hard on the color of coffee cans while you're studying for your drivers exam...hahaha...
