Why does this otherwise excellent series always depict electrons as red and protons as blue when everybody knows it’s the other way round?

I thought everyone knew that neutrons are blue and electrons are yellow.

I refuse to believe neutrons can be any color other than white.

If you have ever looked at an old transmission electron microscope with a viewing screen, you know electrons are green ; )
