    Why has the orange-colored coffee pot become a symbol for decaffeinated coffee in restaurants, and what about the occasional green-colored coffee pot?

    		Orange was the color of the tins of decaffeinated brand Sanka, which became synonymous with any decaffeinated brand

    The occasional green-colored pot was born from decaf rival Folgers, again based on their packaging.
