OMG - big image - a breakdown of the right vs the left. Not a perfect image by a long shot, but they do a decent job of finding ways to put things that give both sides credit.

Oh I knew about that part, but I wonder what prompted the colors to actually swap in that direction, as opposed to being selected to use the same scheme as other areas apparently tend to go by. Or why no political side tried to push back on it.

It seems like it was just done but there's no real logic behind it.

good question. i suspect the parties didn't expect it to become ingrained, but once television gets its teeth in something, there's no letting go.
