We don't follow the colour scale for tires. We differentiate between them by shore, like in nitro. We just divide them into the two big families of carpet tyres and asphalt tires, so I find always confusing all the discussions about pinks magentas blus dbl pinks etc....
We usually run 25 or 30s at the back and 30 to 40 at the front. This is the range more or less
If you only distinguish by shore, you are unable to make the distinction between tires from two different families that have the same shore. For instance, you have no way to differentiate between a Magenta (roughly 35 shore, depending on the manufacturer) and a Blue (also roughly 35 shore, depending on the manufacturer.) Same could be same for a Pink vs a Green, etc.

If you only use tires from a single family it doesn't matter as much, but there have been some pretty good developments in tires over the past couple of years...
