Colours changed?

Hi. Have the colours for the lightning icon changed? As I remember, the algorithm was:

  1. If transport layer is QUIC, then set icon to red
  2. Otherwise if application layer is HTTP/2, then set icon to blue
  3. Otherwise if application layer is SPDY, then set icon to green

But lately I've seen green for 'http/2 + QUIC' which doesn't agree. What's going on?

I always thought that HTTP/2 and SPDY should be the same colour—or shades of the same colour—because HTTP/2 crystallised from SPDY. Whereas QUIC is wholly different, a transport layer protocol.
