It made perfect sense to me after I understood he was colorblind.  It 
just tended to confuse the other managers when they were viewing them.

It was somewhat of a challenge to me on those occasions he was gone and 
I had to do his reports. Trying to match his color scheme so that he 
wouldn't have to re run the reports for his own use was difficult.

Is that to better identify them or to avoid moisture getting to them?

I used to have a lot of anti-static bags they were discarding from work 
to store my spare parts in.
