Colorful Comic Book Characters

So, I'm not entirely sure what I was trying to do when I first started writing this post, but I did the research and don't want to put it to waste.  Basically, I saw a commercial for some new (presumed) crappy TV show called Arrow which is about the comic book character Green Arrow.  Then I was flipping through the channels and saw that The Green Hornet and Green Lantern were playing on some random movie channel and got to thinking that that seems like way too many comic book characters using the adjective "green".  So, I wondered how many more do the same.  After looking that up, I decided to look at some other colors and see which color happened to have the most comic book characters with that color in their name and my results are below.  You should know that I only looked at Marvel and DC Comics because this took way longer than I had expected and still got my point across.  Enjoy, I guess:
