Why are some colors more rare than others?

From Steve Bliss: !

Here’s one conjecture: Green, brown, and a few other colors can be easily used for military models, and LEGO is non-violent; so green and brown aren’t allowed, except in limited situations.

From Cary Clark:

Here’s another conjecture: Lego’s color production has historically been limited to mostly red, blue, yellow, black, white, and grey. Other colors required silo space that was not permanently available, and were only used to produce parts during limited production runs. Over the last few years, more colors have become available in a greater variety of elements. New “System” sets often contain tan, dark grey, green, brown, and orange bricks. It appears that a change in manufacturing has loosened the former color restrictions.
