Borders on the Spines of the Books

[Phaezen]

Slightly odd question

On the spines of the 4e books there is a Border between the D&D logo and the coloured bit with the title, as well as between the coloured bit and the image at the bottom. All the books have the same border except for the two FR books, which share the same style of border, and Martial Power which has its own border style.

I can understand the setting books having different borders to distinguish them from the non-setting books, but why would Martial Power have a different border style?

Slightly related on the colour of the spine, all the books have diffrent colours on the spine, except for the two FR books which share a colour and Draconomicon and Manual of the Planes which also share the same red.

Am I just seeing patterns or is there some kind of correlation?

I was just thinking the same thing today!

Was thinking that the "red" may be a DM's book, that the setting books will have the same, but the Martial Power is an "expansion" book. Will have to wait for more "Powers" books to come out though too. Of course, to keep up with my theory, MP should have a blue spine...
