In my travels I have noticed that passports come in a variety of colors but never knew what the reason was until today. Although there seem to be exceptions to these general rules I will just present the basics since I might be the only one that finds this information the least bit interesting. The European Union (EU),excepting Croatia, uses a burgundy colored passport cover as do parts of South America. The Islamic countries opted for green as that color has importance in their religion. Communist countries mostly use the red covers. There are also specially colored passports for diplomats and military. The US and parts of Central America use the navy blue color which not only show dirt less but also heighten the contrast of countries crests. There are also black passports but try as I might I couldn't make heads nor tails of how the countries were connected that use the black cover,but once again the country has the final say on the color.
