The reason why C# _might_ be considered to not have coloured functions is not because "you can use the await keyword to invoke an asynchronous function", it is that, when for whatever reason you cannot use `await`, then there are ways to synchronously call the async code, the simplest being appending `.Result` to the end.
Of course these are not ideal to use, but "escape hatches" to the coloured functions do exist; and yet there are still two "colours" to the functions" - async and not.
it is wrong to say that "C# does not have coloured functions". OK, you can work around this problem. But it's still a problem.
